Barnabas Racer: Arduino-Compatible 2WD Servo Motor Car Kit (Ages 11+)

The Barnabas Racer is a continuation project for the Barnabas-Bot. This robot is a car that is able to think and act on its own. Students will be review concepts from Barnabas Bot (circuits, coding, mechanical build) and will also be introduced to sensors! This kit includes: electrical parts, continuous servo motors, a car chassis and a motor controller.

Learn block-based coding and/or text-based (C/C++) coding.

Works with Windows PC, Mac or Chromebook!
