The cyber:bot is a favorite among middle school through university level educators. This robot kit and curriculum were created in partnership between Cyber.org and Parallax. Some key points about the cyber:bot:
The tutorials are several hundred pages and may be used for an entire year of classroom education.
Available individually or in the popular cyber:bot 12-Pack Plus.
Our most powerful robot is programmed in BlocklyProp, our custom version of Google’s Blockly visual programming language or C, with SimpleIDE. These two programming styles support the widest range of abilities and ages, from middle school through university programs. Some key points about the ActivityBot 360°:
The ActivityBot 360° be purchased individually or in the popular 12-pack plus kits.
Use Arduino already? Your choice is easy – use the Shield-Bot for Arduino Uno. Our Shield-Bot for Arduino is the most popular Arduino-based robot in the world, and for good reasons:
Programming in Arduino C with Parallax Shield-Bot for Arduino Tutorials is a 40-hour course. Available individually or in the 12-pack Plus format.
Educators who use the Boe-Bot simply won’t change, nor do we ask them to! The original traditional Boe-Bot remains a favorite among many educators due to the simplicity of PBASIC programming, ease of use, and “close to the hardware” engineering content in the spiral-bound tutorial. The strengths of the BASIC Stamp and Boe-Bot include:
Parallax has produced well over 1.5 million chassis of this style. It’s fame began in 1997 as part of a weekend experiment to mount the “Board of Education” on a robot chassis to what we named the Boe-Bot. The universal chassis design has proven incredibly important because customers can move between microcontroller platforms (Arduino, BBC micro:bit, Propeller, BASIC Stamp) without upgrading certain hardware parts. This universal chassis design also ensures that our add-ons (Line Follower, sensors, Ping))) with Mounting Bracket) work across our different robots. This is also a durable chassis; a robot that drives off a desk can still be used!
