The Experiential Robotics Platform (XRP) is a hands-on, comprehensive robotics platform. It includes everything needed to build and program a robot to perform beginner through advanced tasks - building the foundation for innovative thinking, science, engineering, and problem-solving. The platform focuses on four pillars:
Hardware Kit: Easily assemble a robust and expandable robot platform with tool-free construction and versatile integration for sensors and actuators.
Programming Environment: Utilize a multi-language coding experience with Blockly, Python, and WPILib, providing a user-friendly interface for all skill levels.
Online Modules and Projects: To master robotics concepts, follow a structured learning path with engaging challenges and comprehensive resources.
Technical Forum: Access community-driven support, expert assistance, and collaborative opportunities within a dedicated technical forum.
Educator and FIRST Team Discount Available: SparkFun and its partners are proud to work closely with the education community. Sparkfun offer a significant discount on the XRP Robotics Platform Kit with an Educator account, including FIRST teams. Please contact [email protected] to get started.This kit is the XRP's hardware pillar. The SparkFun XRP Controller is significantly improved over the Beta XRP Controller! It features a Raspberry Pi® RP2350B dual-core processor; 16MB of flash and 8MB of PSRAM; low-power accelerometer + gyroscope 6-DoF IMU (LSM6DSOX from STMicroelectronics®); two Qwiic® connectors for easy integration of sensors and accessories; two dual-channel motor drivers for four motors total; four servo headers; a user button; a full-color RGB LED; 0.1in. headers for electrical expansion possibilities, and more. Wireless connectivity is available via a Raspberry Pi® RM2 radio module, enabling 2.4GHz WiFi and Bluetooth for remote control and IoT projects.
This 10-pack of the more economical DIY version of the XRP Kit does NOT come with a chassis. Encouraging you to print and use your own.
The plastics and chassis have also been significantly enhanced over the Beta XRP! Improved snap-fit components and optimized 3D-printing compatibility make assembling the XRP remarkably easier. Thanks to improved durability, a redesigned battery holder, and versatile mounting options, the XRP has also become more robust and user-friendly.
The kit also includes an ultrasonic distance sensor, a line sensor, two motors with encoders, one servo motor, sensor cables, two wheels, and two casters. The robot is typically powered by 4xAA batteries (not included in the kit), but the barrel connector supports any supply up to 11V. The XRP is programmed using a USB-C connector (cable not included).
Everything you need for your XRP project is at xrp.experiential.bot. Access the hardware information, programming tools, online learning, and community support through the technical forum. Find assembly guides, 3D-printable designs, and ideas for advanced projects all in one place.
