Alphabot 2 - complete programmable robotic platform

AlphaBot 2 is a robotics development platform that integrates an Arduino compatible programmable module. It has many features including line tracking, ultrasonic sensor to avoid obstacles, infrared remote control, Bluetooth communication, etc. Thanks to the design, assembly is particularly simple and fast, without soldering or complicated wiring. After a few minutes dedicated to assembly, you can download the demo source codes and test the robot's functionality.

All the supplied electronics can be managed with 5V logic levels, with the exception of the OLED display which requires 3.3V communication logic, therefore if you also want to use the display, the Arduino board used must be able to work at 3.3V logic.

AlphaBot 2 is composed of two overlapping sections, AlphaBot2–base and AlphaBot2-ar

AlphaBot2-Base , represents the lower frame

1. AlphaBot2 control interface: Connector for connection to the top board (cable included)
