Actobotics

Actobotics is a robotics building system based around extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to the two standardized hole patterns, nearly all Actobotics components can be intuitively connected together. The wide range of components makes building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects a reality. Check out the following tutorials using Actobotics, Robotics 101 videos or some of our blog post for ideas. For more inspiration, check out the tutorials and videos from Actobotics.
