Getting Started
The kit includes a full instruction booklet to show you how to make your roving robot, but the following video gives you an idea of what’s involved in building the rover.
RESOURCES
Because the Raspberry Pi is attached to the robot and not your keyboard and monitor, you will need to setup your Raspberry Pi so that you can connect to it remotely from another computer using SSH. The following guide will show you how to do that.
The kit uses the rrb3 library and if you take a look in the examples folder there, you will find other programs to explore with your rover.
