This fully programmable rover kit is easily programmed using the Arduino development tools. Features include a rocker suspension system allowing the rover to operate on uneven terrain. Full lesson plans are included that covers assembly, programming, autonomous operations and WiFi to control the rover. It takes about two hours to assemble using detailed instructions with many pictures. Software works on Windows, Linux and Mac. The kit is complete and includes the Sten-SLATE ESP Processor board with WiFi, an ultrasonic range sensor, light sensor, LED and a robotic arm with two servos. Simple hand tools are required to assemble. Requires 6 AA batteries.
