Imagibot
Inter-Engineering
This fully programmable robot vehicle is driven by two electric motors and utilises the Crumble™ microcontroller board. It is programmed using Redfern Crumble™ software, which is based on Scratch2, a flowchart command language. Individual programs can be written on a PC/laptop and downloaded via a smartphone cable, giving limitless options for the robot’s movements. Building the robot involves careful mechanical assembly and adjustment, and the soldering of electronic components.
