It is designed to help students and newcomers explore science, engineering and problem solving with a physical robot they can assemble and customise.At the centre of the kit is the XRP Controller Board, built around an onboard Raspberry Pi® Pico W with the RP2040 microcontroller. The controller also includes a 6-DoF IMU, Qwiic® expansion, motor drivers, servo headers, a momentary button and other supporting hardware.The kit includes the hardware needed to build the robot, including sensors, motors with encoders, a servo, Qwiic cables, chassis parts, wheels, casters and a battery holder. It is normally powered by 4xAA batteries, which are not included, and can also accept a supply up to 11V via the barrel connector.Online modules and coding tools are provided for the platform, including Blockly tools/libraries, Python and the FIRST® Robotics WPILib development tool. The kit and online tools are in beta, so early users can help provide feedback as the platform continues to improve.Features:Learning progression: Progression from fundamental robotics to driving, line following, using sensors, using a robotic arm, and culminates in building an autonomous delivery robotCoding environment: Coding environment includes Blockly tools/libraries, Python, and the FIRST® Robotics coding development tool, WPILibTool-free assembly: Easy-to-assemble hardware kit that can be assembled completely tool free (no soldering, no screws)Online activities: Online activities and modules that build on one anotherEducation focus: Content designed for middle and high-school students and beginnersCustomisation: Jumping off point for customising the robot in countless waysSpecifications:Controller board: XRP Controller BoardMicrocontroller board: On-board Raspberry Pi® Pico W featuring the RP2040 microcontrollerIMU: Low-power accelerometer + gyroscope 6-DoF IMU (LSM6DSOX from STMicroelectronics®)Expansion connector: Qwiic® connector for easy integration of sensors and accessoriesMotor drivers: Two dual-channel motor drivers for four motors totalServo headers: Two servo headersUser input: Momentary button switchIncluded range sensor: Ultrasonic rangefinderIncluded line sensor: Line followerIncluded drive motors: Two motors with encodersIncluded servo: Servo motorIncluded cables: Qwiic cablesIncluded chassis parts: Chassis and plastic partsIncluded wheels: Two wheelsIncluded casters: Two castersIncluded battery holder: Battery holderNormal power: 4xAA batteries (not included in kit)Barrel connector power: Any supply up to 11V is supported via the barrel connectorA good fit for classrooms, robotics clubs, FIRST teams and individual makers wanting a structured path from basic robot control to autonomous challenges. **Product Type:** Robotics Kit ## Images - [Image 1](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDONACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--d37f72357a68d3a269a186e1f81d0abbae6a6e8e/XRP_Robot-01.jpg) - [Image 2](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDO9ACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--a4fd908cecb6da7dbe41caea83a2e4abdd341c66/XRP_Robot-02.jpg) - [Image 3](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDPtACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--fc4a304cc05bc366c15a1ae5875e5fd88dda21fb/XRP_Robot-03.jpg) - [Image 4](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDQNACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--50a4dfa638b5a9b72f3dcfff03db5973de0c3ae3/XRP_Robot-04.jpg) - [Image 5](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDQ9ACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--1bcd97f525a76776e3677a8e94b2d991728c1540/XRP_Robot-05.jpg) - [Image 6](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDRdACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--88193a28e66151cc646660a2035b6417444fe1c0/XRP_Robot-06.jpg) - [Image 7](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDR9ACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--2773b2784352997ef483ec2cc3d02a5a288c3032/XRP_Robot-07.jpg) - [Image 8](https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDSNACSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--788afd67dc11d752348a5c158241e04a7be66423/XRP_Robot-09.jpg) --- ## Finding & Searching Products If a part listed here isn't quite what you need, you can search Little Bird Electronics' full catalogue: - **Search by keyword:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={search_term}` — searches title, vendor, SKU, tags, and MPN - **Search via JSON:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.json?q={search_term}` — structured JSON results - **Browse by collection:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/collections/{handle}.json` — products in a specific collection - **Filter in-stock only:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products.md?q={term}&in_stock=1` - **Individual product detail:** `GET https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/products/{handle}.md` — full specs, pricing, stock levels, variants Search supports multi-word queries (AND logic).
