This video is an introduction to the Science Buddies BlueBot kit. The kit contains a chassis and circuit parts to build four different versions of the robot: light following, line following, motion activated, and obstacle avoiding. This is a great introductory robotics kit with no computer or programming required to get it up and running, but it is Arduino compatible. Kits are available for purchase from our partner Home Science Tools®:…
