I get sent kits for review all of the time, but few scream quality like this robot kit. It is loaded with high quality, mostly anodized aluminum parts. It comes with amazing Mecanum Wheels that allow it to strafe, spin and perform amazing movements unlike anything. It is loaded with sensors, motors and the MegaPi microcontroller to power all of them simultaneously. It is easily the best robot rover I have ever seen!

So, the hardware is great. How about the software? The factory software demonstrates gesture recognition, line following capabilities and collision detection. It has additional firmware with a free app that provides remote control capabilities along with line following, obstacle avoidance mode and coding directly in the app via Bluetooth! The MegaPi microcontroller can also connect to Arduino and Raspberry Pi.

Basically, this is an advanced Arduino mechanical robot kit, equipped with 4WD mecanum wheels, powerful motor-driving ability and is perfectly matched with Raspberry Pi, which is ideal for Arduino beginners and professionals to learn robotics, electronics and programming.
