The OctoBotino Robot kit was designed for people that want to easily build a robot and start learning about Robotics and Programming using the Arduino Software (C/C++). The kit contains everything you need to build this small robot.
This is a prototype that uses 2 CDs as a chassis. The final product will have a acrylic octagonal chassis board.
Components:
- 1 uBotino kit
- 1 acrylic chassis
- 2 DC geared motors
- 2 wheels
- 1 ball caster
- 2 battery holders 2xAA size
- 1 micro servo
- 1 distance sensor
- 1 buzzer
- 1 IR remote sensor
- 6 1″ standoffs
- FTDI cable
Is it ready for selling. I can’t see the price and ” add an item” buton.
Sorry Ahmet,
The robot kit is not ready for sale yet. I will try to complete the description and take pictures this weekend, as the picture you see is of a similar robot I built for my daughter, Bot4Julia. Mostly the problem is having all the parts ready in stock.
Are you still planning on putting this kit out?
Sorry, but I can’t afford it at the moment. I mean I don’t have the funds to buy the parts and hold them in stock like I do with the electronics.
Oh well, can’t do it all on a hobbyist budget…
g’day, could you publish a construction guide of the beast till it hopefully becomes available as a kit please?
but a guide would be nice.
I’ve ordered the board and think I might be able to collect all the bits and following the code work out where they all attach to…. with luck
Good luck and clear skies

Hi Stephen, at the moment I can’t make an instruction guide for the Octobotino, but I made a video about building a similar robot, the LMR Start Here Robot, using the uBotino controller, 2 cheaper gear motors, a mini servo and a Sharp GP2D12 IR sensor. The pins where the motors, servo and sensor are connected are documented in the code and you can modify that as you need. Also, in the Assembly guide for the uBotino V3, there are explanations how to use it with 2 pin or 3 pin motor control. Let me know if something is not clear enough and I’ll try to explain it clearer.
Thanks for your interest!
