Robotics & Control Kit

Our new Robotics & Control Kit is a great way to introduce your students to programming, electrical circuits, feedback and control, and other engineering concepts. The kit consists of an assortment of parts: DC motor, servo motor, stepper motor, buzzer, speaker, fan, LEDs, lamps, and a terminal trip. The booklet that comes with the kit explains 14 projects for students, some practical (alarm systems and greenhouse temperature control) and some whimsical (mousetraps and stepper motor tea makers). The projects can all be set up with no soldering, using common household and laboratory equipment. You can start experimenting with the projects with the programs we provide, but for best results, the student should get involved with a little programming—using a TI graphing calculator, LabVIEW on a computer (Macintosh, Windows, or Linux), or REALbasic on a Macintosh computer.
