WHAT IS A BOE-BOT ROBOT? According to Parallax, "[t]he Boe-Bot robot is built on a high-quality brushed aluminum chassis that provides a sturdy platform for the servo motors and printed circuit board. Mounting holes and slots may be used to add custom robotic equipment. The rear wheel is a drilled polyethylene ball held in place with a cotter pin. Wheels are machined to fit precisely on the servo spline and held in place with a small screw. The Boe-Bot robot's flexibility stems from the fact that it's a rolling Board of Education carrier board. All I/O projects are built on the breadboard." The power source is 4 AA batteries (batteries not included).
This book will NOT cover all of the Parallax BASIC (PBASIC) commands, but it is an excellent introduction to BS2 programming using the Boe-Bot Robot. You do not have to have prior experience in programming or electronics to complete this course, but completing the activities in Lindsay's text, What's a Microcontroller?, before taking this course is highly recommended. Most importantly, make sure that you visit the Parallax website (Parallax website -> Education -> Stamps in Class).
