Okay, here's a new robot kit we'll be launching in June. It's called the 'Stinger', and we'll be introducing it at Maker Faire, May 19-20th.
We've also put together a slide show gallery where you can see some more upclose pictures of the Stinger Robot Kit. You will see in the pictures where you'll be able to strap on an ICOP Vortex86-6082, running Windows CE 6.0, as well as use a Serializer as the low level hardware control interface. Add in Microsoft Robotics Studio CTP 1.5, and you're able to develop services to run under Windows CE. Thus, we'll be offering this unit as a turn key Windows CE development robot.
We'll post pricing in a few weeks.
We've finished the final production design of our new Stinger Robot Kit. Below is a 3D PDF of the design. Stingers should be available late July/early August.
The model below is a Stinger equipped with an ICOP eBox-2300 (running Windows CE 6.0), Serializer Robot Controller, a Line Following sensor, and a Push Button I/O Board.
The slots in the front bumper were added to allow customers to mount bump sensors, cliff sensors, and other useful sensors.
The DC Gearhead motors feature quadrature wheel encoders with 624 pulses per revolution.
