The easy to follow booklet provided with the kit guides you through all of the steps required for you to take control of your robot. The Robotics Platform has been designed to grow with you and provided additional servo and ultrasonic sensor connectors for more advanced projects. This buggy requires a Raspberry Pi Pico with pin headers attached, you can obtain a \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/products\/5330-raspberry-pi-pico-with-pre-soldered-headers\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico with headers attached here\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe kit is supplied with the autonomous robotics platform chassis, 2 wheels and tyres, a Kitronik line-following sensor board, and an ultrasonic sensor. The kit requires no soldering and only minimal mechanical assembly. Fit the tyres to the wheels, push the wheels onto the pre-mounted motors and both the line following sensor and  ultrasonic distance  sensor plug straight into the board. Once put together, push the Raspberry Pi Pico into the onboard connector, add \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/products\/pro-elec-alkaline-aa-battery\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/products\/pro-elec-alkaline-aa-battery\"\u003e4 x Alkaline AA batteries\u003c\/a\u003e to the battery holders underneath and you are done. Your robot buggy is ready for instruction.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe included booklet guides you through every step of getting to know your robot. It contains a detailed assembly guide, info on preparing the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/collections\/coding\/raspberry-pi-pico\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/kitronik.co.uk\/collections\/coding\/raspberry-pi-pico\"\u003eRaspberry Pi Pico\u003c\/a\u003e, instructions for installing an editor (Thonny), and instructions on how to write code for every feature of the Robotics Platform. No corner of the board is left unexplained.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs well as the easy-to-follow getting started guide, we have also produced online tutorials which go into more detail on coding the key features of the board. The links to the tutorials can be found in the resources section at the foot of this page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor those that like to modify their robot buggies, the buggy has 4 x threaded mounting points added to the chassis, 3 x M3 \u0026amp; 1 x M4. These mechanical fixing locations enable the addition of user-designed features, such as cosmetic chassis parts and\/or additional robotic features, such as appendages. We have produced a dxf file showing the location and thread size of each of these mechanical fixing locations, it  can be downloaded in the resources section below. The zip file also contains a jpg for those that don't have access to CAD or viewing software.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo help make programming the robot as simple as possible, Kitronik has developed a set of Micropython modules, which can be found \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/KitronikLtd\/Kitronik-Pico-Autonomous-Robotics-Platform-MicroPython\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e. More information on this can be found in the booklet supplied with the kit. If you aren't familiar with GIT, we've created an online beginners' guide to help you get up to speed.
