  • SimpleBot for the BrickPi: Dead Simple

    Announcing SimpleBot: the simplest BrickPi model.  Weighing in at a total of 46 parts(most of them are connectors) and two motors, this minimalist design uses as few parts as possible. We have building instructions and sample code all up on the SimpleBot page.  SimpleBot is a great place to start for a first robot with the BrickPi!
