PING))) Ultrasonic Sensor
The Ping))) Ultrasonic Rangefinder can be directed by a standard servo, which is attached to the Boe-Bot robot with the Ping))) Mounting Bracket Kit, to provide 180 degree object detection. This clip demonstrates how the Boe-Bot robot can be programmed to take a sweep of distance measurements, find the closest object, figure out where its center is, calculate and execute a turn maneuver to face it, go to it, and stop in front of it.

Crawler Add-on
The crawler attachment is an alternative to the normal round tires provided with the Boe-Bot kits, and it rather successfully converts the Boe-Bot robot into a hexapod. The predictable steady locomotion is lost, but in its place the crawler kit provides another utility as it can also walk over protruding ground impediments; it doesn't roll over them, as with the tank tread, but instead the legs will step on and over objects in its path.

There is a light at the end of the tunnel, and this simple add-on will steer you to it. Using a
Photoresistor and some ingenuity this application could prove useful if you're ever, oh I don't know, stuck in a cave!? Then you can send out your Boe-Bot robot to find the exit and then call for help. It'd be pretty neat.

Boe-Bot Full Kit,
Whisker Wire
The whisker kit is a fairly simple tool for object avoidance. The whisker is a metal wire that can protrude from the front of a Boe-Bot robot and sense objects in its path by bumping into them. The whisker bends and connects with one of the metal receptors positioned around it, and depending on the input received the Boe-Bot robot will correct its path. Simple, easy, and fun!
