m3pi Robot

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 a 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 m3pi expansion kit contains everything you need to turn your 3pi robot into an enhanced m3pi robot. The expansion PCB ships with all the surface-mount parts populated, but the included headers, buttons, and connectors must be soldered in.

This combination deal includes everything you need for an mbed-controlled m3pi robot. It consists of one mbed NXP LPC1768 development board and one fully-assembled m3pi robot.
