Holiday Sale Shopping Guide Posted: 16 Dec 2015 06:00 AM PST This holiday season, give the gift of learning… and robots! Every kit in the RobotGeek product line makes great gifts for anyone looking to get involved in Arduino programming and robotics, and right now, all InterbotiX and RobotGeek kits are on sale at 15% (12/16-12/20)! From beginner to advanced, we have something for anyone with an interest in robots and electronics! The RobotGeek Experimenter’s Kits make a fantastic introduction to the world of Arduino. With the RobotGeek Arduino Basic Experimenter’s Kit, anyone can get started quickly, learning about Analog vs Digital inputs, controlling LEDs, and precisely controlling a servo motor! This is a great budget conscious choice, giving the tools to learn the basics of coding.   Was: $69.95 Now: $59.45! For a more comprehensive learning experience, consider the RobotGeek Arduino Basic+ Experimenter’s Kit. It comes with everything that the Basic kit offers, with additional inputs such as a Slider, Joystick, Tilt Sensor, and Force Sensitive Resistor! Not only that, but they can learn about I2C communications and even make simple games using the LCD screen included in the kit! This is a solid choice for anyone who is new to Arduino programming and wants to get involved in a big way.   Was: $109.95 Now: $93.45! Maybe the person you’re buying for already has a bit of background in electronics, but they haven’t built a robot yet. The RobotGeek Snapper Arduino Robotic Arm is a perfect entry level robotics kit that will get them started on the right foot. As seen on IEEE’s 2015 Robot Gift Guide, alongside industry giants such as iRobot and Robotis, this makes a stellar gift for the technically inclined neophyte.   Was: $199.95 Now: $169.95! These gifts are great for the newbies, but what if you’re trying to find a gift for someone a little more advanced in electronics and programming? Enter the InterbotiX line. The PhantomX Pincher Robot Arm Kit Mark II is similar to the Snapper, but it runs on a more advanced ArbotiX-M arduino compatible microcontroller, and features smart AX-12A Dynamixel Actuators, giving the maker significantly more precise control options, computer control, and more! Was: $379.95 Now: $322.96! Also on sale are the Artec Blocks System Kits! With no nuts and bolts to deal with, learning about robotics is a snap with the RoboLink and Robotist kits! Your kids will have fun making robots with blocks, similar to making Lego creations, and bringing them to life with simple motors in the RoboLink series. Once they have learned the basics, they can make more advanced robots, utilizing sensors and a microcontroller in the Robotist series!   Now: 15% Off! Sometimes it can be hard to find exactly the right gift. Maybe you’ve already decided to purchase an experimenter’s kit, and don’t know what RobotGeek modules they’ll want once they decide to graduate from it. For these tricky scenarios, we offer Gift Certificates! These take the guesswork out of gifting. We’re sure you’ll find the perfect gift at a great price! Happy Holidays from Trossen Robotics!
