YetiBorg v2 is a great kit to get started with Raspberry Pi robotics! It's based on the Raspberry Pi Zero, ZeroBorg Motor Controller and PiBorg P25UK12 motors (12V 100RPM), making it super compact but wickedly powerful! You won't find any of "those yellow motors" near PiBorg products!

The ZeroBorg enables independent control of each motor, which means Yeti is fully 4WD, and PiBorg examples including joystick control via IR, motion following with the Raspberry Pi camera (not included), control via web/mobile and more, will get you up and running in no time!

Whether you're using Yeti to grab drinks from the fridge, follow your dog around, or a fully-fledged educational robotics platform, it won't let you down.

Contains

4 x Independently Controllable 12V 100RPM Motors (P25UK12)
4 x White Racing Wheels
1 x Raspberry Pi Zero with Pre-Soldered Header
1 x ZeroBorg Complete Motor Controller with IR Sensor, 5V Regulator & 9V Battery Clip
4 x Brass Hubs and Brackets
Laser Cut Acrylic Body
Wire & Mounting Hardware

The YetiBorg is a self-assembly kit, which requires some simple soldering to get started. A Raspberry Pi Zero with a pre-soldered header is included (as of 26/01/2018), you just need to add a MicroSD card & batteries! YetiBorg v2 optionally supports the Raspberry Pi camera (not included) for projects such as motion following.

The YetiBorg kit can be assembled into two different configurations so you can customize the robot to do what you want it to:

Low profile: If you are looking to build a speedy racer then the low profile build is for you. The low profile build is the most compact and has the ability to flip over and drive upside-down, just like the original YetiBorg it is based on. The camera is positioned low to the floor to improve autonomous driving and the Pi Zero is safely housed in the center of the robot.
Off-road: If you want to drive on rough ground then you want the off-road build. This version has much higher ground clearance and keeps the electronics up high away from any mud and puddles. The camera is also positioned higher so you can see over rocks and lumps.
