variAnt Robot Ant

Description

Programmable Robot Kit with 344 Parts

variAnt runs and acts almost like its natural role model. Its patented walking mechanism was especially developed for the fine-boned anatomy of an insect and is driven by compact micro-geared motors.

The autonomous robot ant explores its entire environment with the help of 12 analogue sensors. This allows it to detect obstacles, markings, movements or light sources based on the slightest differences in brightness.

The control unit in the rear, which is equipped with a nano-board, offers a wide range of flexible connection options in combination with the breadboard in the head. After the exciting setup, ready-made and expandable code modules ensure an easy and quick introduction to Arduino programming up to the first experiments with artificial intelligence.

The kit already comes with a USB rechargeable 9 V Li-Ion battery, which supplies the robot ant with power for at least 5 hours.

    Te iel, te veel afhankelijk van minieme toleranties

    Had veel moeite om de mier in elkaar te zetten. De handleiding is niet altijd even duidelijk. De acrylonderdelen zijn zeer breekbaar en ik heb een aantal nieuwe moeten bestellen. De tandwielen die de poten aandrijven raken of elkaar niet of raken de motorbehuizing. In beide gevallen lopen de poten niet goed of zelfs helemaal niet. Ik ben niet zover gekomen dat ik echt met de programmering aan de gang kon gaan. Heb de mier voorlopig maar even weggezet.
