Resources and Going Further

Your robot is movin' and groovin'... but don't stop there! You can still add more parts, more code, more personality! Check out the RedBot Experiment Guide for some ideas about what you can do with a simple two-wheeled robot.

Also, if you pimped your bot with some cool googly eyes or glitter, let's see it! Take a picture and tweet it to @sparkfun

For more robotic fun, check out these other great SparkFun tutorials:

SparkFun Line Follower Array Hookup Guide

Learn how to connect the RedBot Line-Following Sensor Bar to an Arduino-type microcontroller. Use the example sketches to read data from the bar, and try out a simple line-following algorithm.

Light-Seeking Robot

We use parts from the SparkFun Inventor's Kit v4.0 to create a light-seeking robot that mimics the behavior of single-celled organisms.

Wireless RC Robot with Arduino and XBees

In this tutorial, we will expand on the SIK for RedBot to control the robot wirelessly with XBee radios! We'll explore a different microcontroller and wirelessly control the RedBot at a distance.

Calibrating Your Odometry Sensor

In this tutorial, we will cover how to calibrate your Qwiic Optical Tracking Odometry Sensor (or "OTOS") with Arduino and Python Examples.
