Pybot Robotics Kit - Powered by Beaver Board

Build a real robot. Program it with blocks or Python. No cables, no installs.

The PyBot Robotics Kit gives students everything they need to assemble a Bluetooth-programmable robot and bring it to life. Snap the robot together with one screwdriver. Then open PyBot Labs in Chrome or Edge, drag and drop code blocks (or write MicroPython), and send your program to the robot wirelessly.

The kit is designed for ages 8 and up. It suits beginners and also has room to grow, from blinking an LED to line-following and obstacle-avoiding robots.

Why you'll love it

- Zero setup. Firmware comes pre-loaded. Power on, connect over Bluetooth, and start coding.
- No USB cable needed. Code uploads wirelessly from the browser, and the battery pack powers everything.
- Blocks to Python. Start with visual blocks, then move on to real MicroPython when you're ready.
- Guided lessons. Step-by-step tutorials cover LEDs, sensors, motors, and finished robot projects.
- Designed in Canada by PyBot Labs.

Learn real skills

Students pick up loops, variables, conditionals, functions, sensor input, and motor control. These skills carry over to Python and to engineering projects. They're also useful for tech-program applications and for STEM clubs or classrooms.

What you'll need (not included)

- 4 × AA batteries
