Red Rover STEM Robot

Low-Cost Robot STEM Robot using a 3D Printer

Red Rover is a low-cost robot design for any maker that has access to a 3D printer. This project is for teaching and learning in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) of any age.

This Red Rover project was created by Rick Winscot, Pennsylvania State University Professor.

It is designed to be an inexpensive autonomous rover that anyone (8+) can build! It contains an easyRadio eRIC RF module on an easyRadio Arduino Shield.

There is some 3D printing involved, easily-sourced hardware, and a tiny Atmel microcontroller. The microcontroller can be upgraded to an Arduino™ Minior Arduino UNO.

The design is expandable and highly configurable.

Parental supervision is required.
