Romi Robot Kit for FIRST - Red
This robot based on the Romi chassis and 32U4 control board provides a platform that FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) students can program using the full suite and libraries that are used to program competition robots, making it a great teaching tool and introductory competition robot. No soldering or tools are required to assemble this kit; the parts all just press or snap together. Just add a Raspberry Pi (not included) to the built-in control board socket to complete the robot. Once set up, the Raspberry Pi acts as a wireless intermediary between a computer running the FIRST software and the Romi control board, sending motor commands from the computer to the robot over Wi-Fi and reporting robot sensor values back to the computer.
