CamJam EduKit #3 - Robotics

The third in the CamJam EduKit series, focused on robotics. This kit contains almost everything you need to build a Raspberry Pi-powered robot — just add your own Raspberry Pi (any model), chassis, and batteries. Follow the included worksheets to build a motorised buggy with obstacle detection and line-following capabilities.

The kit's cardboard box doubles as a chassis — cut it to shape and mount the motors directly. A great introduction to Python programming, GPIO interfacing, and robotics concepts.

Key Features
