Features

High strength injection-molded plastic

High strength injection-molded plastic to provide the best protection from collision and dust (it’s NOT waterproof!). In the stress tests, the assembled robot can take an adult’s stepping without breaking any components.

Customized Arduino board with rich peripherals

Bittle is driven by NyBoard V1, a customized Arduino board with rich peripherals. It fully utilizes the chip of a regular Arduino Uno to coordinate sophisticated motions. The board can drive at least 12 PWM servos, and an IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit) is used for balancing.

Due to the update and iteration of the product, there are two different versions of the mainboard of the Bittle kit. You can judge which model your Bittle motherboard is based on the silkscreen on the upper left corner of the front of the mainboard.

Dynamic movement and coordination

Legged motion gives it more freedom to navigate unstructured terrains, and expresses the joy of life whenever it moves. Such dynamic maneuverability was only seen on a few luxury robots from the best labs or tycoon companies previously, such as Boston Dynamics Spot or Sony Aibo.

Supports graphical programming and Arduino IDE

You can program Bittle at different levels in various coding environments, including Arduino IDE for C coding and Codecraft for graphical programming. On the other hand, advanced makers and STEM teachers can examine and modify Bittle C code, which is completely open-source.

Active online community and professional technical support

As a joint project between Petoi and TinkerGen, Bittle has a support of active online community, including forums, professionally written documentation and experts from the team ready to help users with issues if they arise. You can find up to date information about Bittle on https://www.tinkergen.com/ and online tutorials, projects and lesson ideas at TinkerGen Education Platform, Make2Learn.
