Resources and Going Further
Get moving!
Hopefully, this guide has given you enough information to get started with the RedBot!
Once you've mastered the art of line following robots, try you hand at other types of robots.
- You could use a robotic claw and a pan/tilt bracket to design a robot with an arm to fetch items for you.
- You could create your own remote control using various SparkFun parts.
- And, you can always give your robot a new look with different types of robot chassis.

Wireless Motor Driver Shield Hookup Guide
Get started with the SparkFun Wireless Motor Driver Shield!
Wireless Remote Control with micro:bit
In this tutorial, we will utilize the MakeCode radio blocks to have the one micro:bit transmit a signal to a receiving micro:bit on the same channel. Eventually, we will control a micro:bot wirelessly using parts from the arcade:kit!
