Introducing BaseBot, a mid-sized robot chassis designed for the Arduino (or any controller that will fit). This kit comes complete with everything you need (excluding simple tools) to construct a fully featured roving robot! Out of the box you can be up and running with the free code examples found in the ‘code & projects’ section in as little as 2hrs. No messy glue, soldering or cutting needed. Simply bolt the kit together, connect up the boards and you are up and running!

All BotBuilder bot kits are designed so you can easly modify them. Need to mount some sensor or attachment? See our range of accessories, or make your own. The bots are made from 3mm acrylic making them easy to drill more mounts to add new attachments. Have a look in the code & projects section to see the cool things you can do with these bots.

We hope that you find the BaseBot a fun and easy way to experiment with your robot ideas, the only limit is your imagination!
