Boe-Bot Tutorial Series

The versatile Bot-Bot Robot is great for learners of all ages and experience levels. Each kit comes with a textbook you can follow step-by-step, or download our free PDF version from the Main Lesson(s) section below.

We strongly recommend you go through the introductory lessons in the book (or PDF) before trying the projects below unless you're an experienced roboticist who is familiar with the Boe-Bot Robot and PBASIC programming.

  • Main Lesson(s) - This tutorial, or sequence of tutorials, takes you from start to finish through your robotics kit. You will progress through mechanical assembly and programming basics, to autonomous navigation using the sensors provided in your kit. No additional hardware is required to complete the main lesson(s).
  • Projects - Once you have completed the main lesson(s), or if you are simply looking for new ideas and activities, give these projects a try! Most will require one or more additional hardware components not included in the main robot kit. These items are usually available through our ecommerce website www.Parallax.com. Check the parts list for each project for details on what you’ll need.
