Computers promote the spirit of research
Explore unknown areas, measure distances, follow trails, recognize colours, measure temperatures, avoid obstacles without touching them, recognize day and night, and trigger an alarm: The ROBO TX Explorer sensors can do all of this and lots more to inspire the spirit of research in young engineers.

The construction kit provides 400 components, a NTC resistor, photo resistor, ultrasonic distance sensor, optical colour sensor and the IR trail sensor to built six different models. Thanks to two “encoder motors” and track drive ROBO TX models are even able to explore difficult terrain. The ROBO TX Explorer construction kit (Ages 10+/Euros 179.95) is a perfect addition to the ROBO TX Training Lab and comes with ROBO TX Controller and ROBO Pro software.
The didactic activity booklet and a highly detailed construction manual help to build functional models and to understand the included ROBO Pro software. Simple programming modules make editing a programme quite easy. Advanced engineers will find that the construction set serves as the ideal basis for participation on the RoboCup.
Due to inbuilt ultrasonic distance sensor, robots are able to recognize and avoid obstacles in a distance of up to four metres. The environmental temperature is measured by a NTC resistor and displayed at the ROBO TX Controller. Recognizing day and night and turning the headlights on and off accordingly – that’s no problem for the Explorer Model thanks to an included photo resistor. |
An optical infrared colour sensor and the innovative trail sensor provide fascinating new possibilities. The model robot quickly follows a trail and is able to recognize different colours. For first test drives and tasks the construction kit contains a coloured model course. |
