Inex - Robo BOX 3 Educational Kit
(with LOGO programming)
| ROBO-BOX-3.0 is an
intelligent robotic
kit for beginners with proven track record of being
a successful technology learning tool around the world. This
kit is suitable
for lower and higher educational
students as well as anyone people who is interested in microcontroller
applications without much programming knowledge & skills. Once
programmed, it is a fully
autonomous robot. The Robo Box is a superset of Robocircle, a smaller
kit from Inex based on the same hardware (but with less parts)
The robot`s brain
comes
in a
small box called i-BOX-3.
It is a compact-size programmable
microcontroller board based on the Cricket
educational robot block designed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of
Technology) that later
influenced the design of Lego Mindstorms. |

the i-BOX 3
Users can program the robot using LOGO (Cricket
Logo)
Programming can be done in text format or through Graphical Tool
called LOGO
BLOCKS (also designed by MIT and used with Lego
and other educational robot products).

UCON-232
Included in the kit is the UCON-232 which converts
USB to Serial. This
converter is necessary for new computers that come without a serial
port. | |
 | !!BONUS!!
ZX-Sound
- Sound
detection module detects sound pressure applied to Condenser
Microphone. Output voltage 0 to +5V varies from sound pressure level
detected by microphone. (can be used to have the robot counting and
reacting to the number of hand claps)
!!BONUS!! |
CompetitionsIn
Asia the i-ROBOT3 is used in various school robot competitions. The
following two examples show how the kit can be used in context of a
competition. Please note that these examples require some extra sensors
that are not
included in the basic kit.
Example1: Mazebot
Example2: Sumobot |  | | |
Documentation and Software
Please Note:
To optimize Shipping, we ship the Kit in a Plastic Bubble Wrap bag and not
inside a Carton Box.
Therefore, the Box you see in the picture is not sent with the Kit. It is the
box for this kit, but we choose to ship the kit without the box as it optimizes
the cost of shipping.
