DESCRIPTION: The
Boe-Bot is built on a high-quality brushed aluminum chassis that provides
a sturdy platform for the servo motors and printed circuit board. Mounting
holes and slots may be used to add custom robotic equipment. The rear
wheel is a drilled polyethylene ball held in place with a cotter pin.
Wheels are machined to fit precisely on the servo spline and held in place
with a small screw.
The Boe-Bot’s flexibility stems from the fact that it’s a rolling
Board of Education. All I/O projects are built on the breadboard. The
Board of Education (and BS2-IC) may be removed to be used as your platform
for the other Stamps in Class curriculum. The robot may be programmed to
follow a line, solve a maze, follow light, or communicate with another
robot by following the instruction of the Robotics text v1.5.
Extra activities which may require additional parts for your Boebot
include: making your Boe-Bot talk with a speech board, maze contests, line
following, interfacing direction sensors, and using RF modules and
video/camera equipment to build a Video-Bot.
(Requires 4AA batteries-not
included)

GUI Interface
for the Boe-Bot
In addition to the standard GUI interface that is geared toward the BASIC
Stamp Activity Board, Amulet has created a GUI for the Boe-Bot. You can
remotely control a Boe-Bot via RF using icons on the Amulet display
screen. In order to utilize the interface, you will need to have a Boe-Bot,
RF Transmitter/Receiver, and an additional BS2 and Board of Education.

your Boe-Bot to the next level.
