At PicoGirl, we are committed to excellence in STEM and Coding Education.

Pi Kit (With Digital Mounting) is an Electronics version  (with bolts and bearing) of the robot platform with Alpha flowchart, or Asm and C text coding software with video tutorials. We supply the dxf and stl files with this kit so you can print and laser cut your own plastic parts. This helps lower the cost especially for school bulk orders.

Pi Pro Kit plugs into your computer via the FLow USB Programmer (not included). This kit requires construction and basic soldering experience. 

This is our exemplar robot for use with our Flow Alpha software or the MPLAB-X software from Microchip Technology using a separately purchased Flow USB Programmer.
