Building Robots Robots

Because the Robot Dashboard uses the Johnny-Five Robotics & IoT platform, it means there is a huge range of supported boards for any robot you may want to build.

The Sample Robots listed here are based on using an Arduino UNO.

A typical set of components for a Robot include:

Microcontroller (like Arduino UNO)
Motor Controller (like TB612FNG)
DC Motors and Wheels
Bluetooth Module (like HC-05)
Breadboard
Wires
Wood, Plastic, Foam Board
Nails, Screws
Batteries (like LiPo Rechargeables)

See Robot Cost Example for an estimated cost of a typical Arduino based robot.
