Q - When does a computer/microcontroller become a robot?

A - When it's got the moves!

The Kitronik Robotics Components Starter Pack ensures that whenever the urge to robot strikes, you've got the moves to make it happen. This collection of platform-agnostic robotics actuators and power delivery components gets you well on your way to creating a robot that can move around and interact with its environment in a variety of ways, just add a microcontroller and motor driving and let your imagination do the rest.

This super convenient starter pack contains two motors, two wheels, two servos, Laser cut parts to make a robotic Klaw and a linear actuator, a battery holder, and a handy screwdriver for the actuator assembly. As long as you have an appropriate motor driver you can use any microcontroller to be the brains of your robot. This kit is perfectly suited to the micro:bit, Raspberry Pi Pico, Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and more.

Learn in your own way and at your own pace and on one or more platforms of your choosing. This kit will allow you to bring your imagination to life and you can add parts to your robotics kit as your imagination grows and your projects become more ambitious. It all has to start somewhere, today a kit, tomorrow a drawer full of parts.

Whether this is the start of your robotics adventure or you've already dipped your toes in the water with buggy builds, this is the perfect kit to get going with. It would also make the perfect gift for the budding roboteers in your life.
