Parallax Boe-Bot to Shield-Bot Retrofit Kit (for Arduino)

If you are a fan of the original BASIC Stamp Boe-Bot Robot, but find you need to convert one (or a whole fleet) to be Arduino Uno compatible, use this retrofit kit to create a “Shield-Bot.” The Board of Education Shield plugs right on top of your own Arduino Uno (not included!) and the two boards are held together with the included hardware. A 5-AA battery pack brings the power supply up above 7 V, the recommended input voltage for an Arduino Uno. (Also need an Arduino Uno? Get this version instead.) Then, you are ready to follow the free web tutorial “Robotics with the Board of Education Shield for Arduino.” This adaptation of the original Robotics text begins with a programming tutorial, and then works through all of the classic DIY navigation sensor circuits: touch-whisker switches, light-following with photo-transistors, and object detection with infrared headlights. (If you are also in need of replacement circuit components, see our Small Robot Electronics Pack.) Many robotic add-
