Essential to any robot learning kit is a line follower.  This week, we are introducing a line follower sensor for the Raspberry Pi, the GoPiGo Line Follower.  A line follower is an easy way to direct your robot around the floor of a classroom, your kitchen, or your office.  Just lay down some tape and start the line following program!...

We are really proud of our Python Programming language examples for the GoPiGo.  These are all up on Github.  If you’re familiar with Python, these will be easy to start with and follow. A New Guided Tutorial Pythonprogramming.net has recently done an extensive set of tutorials on how to program the GoPiGo in Python.  The author walks you through setting...

We’re really proud to announce the launch of GoBox, a subscription robot kit that delivers a new Mission and a sensor to your door every month. The GoBox is a fun and easy way to learn programming through a build-your-own robot kit with monthly robotics missions to keep you engaged month after month. We’re making it even easier to...

The C Elegans worm is one of the most-studied animals in science.  In neurobiology, it’s the most basic brain model scientists use to study how the brain works.  Now you can have a robot that thinks like one! The C Elegans worm brain has been brought to the Raspberry Pi Robot.  The Connectome project has modeled the C Elegans...

When we originally designed the GoPiGo, we wrote the software in Python.  We did this because it’s an easy language to use and to learn.  One of the major advantages of making open source hardware is that our community can help open up new things for our hardware.  Folks have taken some of our projects and really run with them, making...

We set out a few months ago to make it easy to turn your Raspberry Pi into a Robot.  We wanted to make getting started as easy and as quick as possible, especially for beginners.  Over the past two months, we’ve published a few tutorials on projects you can use with the GoPiGo. No technology is useful when hidden and our goal...

The GoPiGo is a complete robot package for the Raspberry Pi. It comes with everything you need to get your Raspberry Pi rolling. The kit contains a robot body, motors, controls, and a robust power supply. No soldering or messy wiring required to turn your Raspberry Pi into a robot.
