GoPiGo kit: Build, learn, and experiment with robotics!

GoPiGo Kit is designed to appeal equally to kids, college students, hobbyists, and researchers alike. Anyone can follow along with playful projects and curriculum, making learning fun for everyone. Dexter Industries was founded in July 2009 by a group of engineers with an interest in robotics. Their first product was the dSwitch and they have since created several robots for the Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and Lego Mindstorms NXT system. The GoPiGo is a complete kit to build your own robot car. . GoPiGo meets yo at the level you’re at — whether you are a parent looking for a smart, fun weekend project to do with your kid, a teacher looking for a way to increase engagement in your science course, or a grad student in need of a platform for your robotics research that requires mobility., If you're not looking for a hands-on experience, and prefer something more theoretical, then this may not be for you! The GoPiGo is a great tool for introducing robotics to a classroom or household!.
