The Pololu m3pi robot consists of a 3pi robot base with a fully assembled m3pi expansion board as its second level. This expansion board enables the use of ARM’s powerful 32-bit mbed development board as the robot’s high-level controller, which offers significantly more processing power and free I/O lines than the 3pi’s built-in 8-bit AVR microcontroller. There are also sockets for Wixel and XBee wireless serial modules as well as prototyping space for additional sensors and electronics.

The Scribbler 2 Robot (S2) is a fully assembled robot pre-programmed with eight demo modes including line-following and light-seeking. Custom programs for the S2 can be built using the graphics-based S2 GUI or text-based Propeller Tool code editor, both of which are available to download for free. These options, along with Parallax’s user-friendly documentation and manuals, make the S2 a great choice for both beginning and expert programmers.

If you think one robot is interesting, wait until you see two of them battling for control, Sumo-style. The SumoBot Robot Competition Kit is an educational kit that includes two texts and parts to make two competition-ready robots that comply with the Northwest Robot Mini-Sumo Tournament rules, the standard for many mini-sumo competitions. These little pushers will locate and knock their opponents right out of the ring while detecting the edge of the ring should an escape move be necessary.

The iBOTZ Antoid is a unique, beginner-level robot kit that features one of the most basic functions found in autonomous robots: obstacle detection. Powered by two DC motors, the Antoid walks on six legs and avoids bumping into objects by detecting them with an infrared sensor. The robot walks forward until it detects an obstacle, at which point it backs up and turns before resuming its forward gait.

The iBOTZ Hydrazoid is a good beginner robot kit that features the basic robotic action of sound detection. The Hydrazoid robot has four spindly legs and fiber-optic antennas that give this sound-detecting robot a unique, extra-terrestrial look. When the Hydrazoid "hears" a sound with its condenser microphone, its single DC motor activates, and the robot walks forward for about 12 seconds and then stops until it hears another sound.

The OWI Jungle Robot is an excellent beginner-level robot kit that you can build in two ways: you can make a robotic orangutan that climbs a rope, hand-over-hand, or you can build a robotic gorilla that walks on two arms. The robotic ape starts climbing or walking when its sound sensor detects a loud sound.

Comet is quick to respond and scurries speedily on command. A condenser microphone and a printed circuit board control this OWIKIT. Each time its sound sensor hears your command, it reacts; clap your hands or make any other loud sound to control it (and drop in a pen to make it draw!).
