Tek Bots

Tek Bots

TekBots are programmable robots used by several universities to help students learn some of the fundamental concepts that are found in the fields of computer and electrical engineering.

TekBots are centered around the Atmel microcontroller platform. This is the "brain" of the robot as it controls the robot's two motorized wheels allowing it to move. The robot's controller boards, wheels and all other peripherals are all housed in an aluminum base.

TekBots are fairly high-tech devices, which is why they are found mostly in classrooms around the world and not on store shelves. However anyone can try building a TekBot if they are ready for the challenge.
