Announcing the Mintybot




Let's build robots together! Come join John Park, host of Make: television, Usman Muzaffar, and Joe Bowers in the Maker Shed to build your own programmable Arduino robot, the Mintybot. (Note, this is a prototype, actual Mintybot may be different. Who knows at this point?!)



The Mintybot is a small Arduino robotics platform built around a mint tin. You can program it to drive pre-determined patterns, or avoid obstacles with its included light sensors. Add other sensors and capabilities as you go -- the sky's the limit! Warning: does not tasty minty. Please don't lick your Mintybot.
