Boe-Bot Robot Kit – Serial (VPL-RAT-28132)
The Boe-Bot Robot Kit is an educational kit complete with parts and text for building and programming your own Boe-Bot robot. No previous robotics, electronics, or programming experience is required.
DESCRIPTION
The Boe-Bot Robot Kit comes with everything you need to make your very own Boe-Bot, including sensors and other electronic components, a BASIC Stamp 2 for a brain, and the Robotics with the Boe-Bot text to show you how to build and program your Boe-Bot. No previous robotics, electronics, or programming experience is necessary.
The Robotics with the Boe-Bot text includes 41 activities for the Boe-Bot Robot with step-by-step instructions, schematics and wiring diagrams, example programs, and bonus challenges with solutions in each chapter. Starting with basic movement and proceeding to sensor-based projects, you will learn about the mechanics, wiring, components, and programming of your Boe-Bot. As you complete the projects you will see how the Boe-Bot is expandable for many different robotic projects and how the skills and concepts you learn are applicable to other embedded systems projects.
The Boe-Bot Robot is built on a high-quality brushed aluminum chassis that provides a sturdy platform for the motors (continous rotation RC servos) and the carrier board for the BASIC Stamp (the Board of Education). Many mounting holes and slots may be used to add custom robotic equipment. The rear wheel is a slider ball held in place with a cotter pin. Drive wheels are molded to fit precisely on the servo spline and held in place with a small screw.
The Boe-Bot takes about 1–2 hours to put together. Once you assemble your Boe-Bot, each project in the Robotics text provides a unique new experience of wiring and program tuning. Completing the entire set of projects will take about 50 hours. This kit is suitable for anybody over 12 years of age.
FEATURES
Here are some of the things your Boe-Bot can do (if you build it and program it correctly!):
- Seek and follow light
- Avoid and follow objects
- Navigate autonomously
You can expand your Boe-Bot’s capabilities by adding other sensors and electronics. For example, you can make it follow a line course (such as a black electrical tape on white poster board) by adding some line-following reflectance sensors.
KIT CONTENTS
- Robotics with the Boe-Bot – A printed textbook that guides you through 41 activities that teach you how to assemble, wire circuits for, and program the Boe-Bot.

Wall Hugging Mouse Kit (VPL-RAT-WHM)
Wall Hugging Mouse Kit (VPL-RAT-WHM) The VPL’s, Wall-hugging Mouse is a fun and easy-to-build kit that’s great for new robot enthusiasts. The mouse has no electronics, and a simple wire bumper along its side directs current to one of two motors to keep the mouse moving along the wall. The wall hugging mouse races along a wall in a zig-zag manner. When the bump sensor makes contact with the wall, the mouse moves to the right. When the bump sensor is not touching the wall, the mouse moves to the left. This simple behavior allows the robot to skillfully follow a wall. The sensor and switches are pre-assembled. The thin, clear body can be painted from the inside for an attractive finish that won’t easily scratch. To assemble the mouse you will need a screwdriver, a modeling knife, diagonal cutters, and long nose pliers. How It Works The Wall Hugging Mouse uses a simple two-motor system to scurry along the wall. When motor B is on and motor A is off, the mouse steers left towards the wall. The sensor wire comes into contact with the wall it activates a micro switch that turns motor A on and motor B off causing it to steer away from the wall. When the mouse steers away from the wall the sensor rod loses contact with the wall turning the micro switch off and turning motor A off and motor B back on again. Because this kit has two independent motors for differential drive, it can also serve as a base for your own project. There is ample space for adding your own electronics, and you can readily modify the plastic base. Basic Specifications Motor: (2) RE-140 Body: Polycarbonate Chassis: Plastic
