What's new with the Boe-Bot robot v2.0

What’s New with Robotics with the Boe-Bot v2.0?

Robotics with the Boe-Bot v2.0 is the newly revised and expanded version of our most

popular Stamps in Class curriculum. New features of the text include:

 New chapter for beginners that introduces BASIC Stamp programming - no

prerequisite required.

 Expanded – now includes 8 Chapters and 41 Activities. Was 188 pages, now 319

pages.

 All new programs in PBASIC 2.5, featuring DO…LOOP,

IF…THEN…ELSEIF…ELSE, and SELECT…CASE code block instructions

 Programs designed specifically for the fast and responsive Parallax Continuous

Rotation Servos.

 Audio and LED light indicator circuits for low-battery brownout, infrared

interference, and sensor trouble-shooting

 Redesigned tactile whisker contact switches that reduce “blind spots”

 New photoresistor experiments now demonstrate these concepts: digital

measurements using resistor divider circuits, and analog measurements with an

RC circuit and decay time.

 Improved remote object and distance detection with shielded, frequency-matched

infrared LED emitters and detectors that increase functional distance

The activities in Robotics with the Boe-Bot v2.0 require a few parts not previously used

with Robotics! v1.5. If you already have a Boe-Bot (#28132), you can conveniently

obtain these parts by ordering online. Enter “28105 in the Product Search field at
