{"product_id":"trilobot","title":"Trilobot Base Kit","description":"\u003cp\u003eA versatile, mid-level robot learning platform for Raspberry Pi.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrilobot is a sturdy Raspberry Pi-based robot kit, designed with educational use in mind. It's straightforward to get started with, but we've made it easy to add extra functionality, so it can grow alongside your \u003cs\u003eplans for an unstoppable robot army\u003c\/s\u003e robotics skills.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTrilobot's chassis is made of layers of resilient FR-4 printed circuit board, which lets us do some exciting new things not possible with our previous acrylic robots. The \u003cstrong\u003emotor driver hardware\u003c\/strong\u003e is built right into the chassis itself so you don't need a separate HAT to handle the motors. We've marked up all the layers with \u003cstrong\u003euseful labels\u003c\/strong\u003e to show you where all the bits go and squeezed in some nifty design touches, like a blingy gold bumper and a stylish reversible top plate. There's also some impressively bright onboard \u003cstrong\u003eRGB LED underlighting\u003c\/strong\u003e built in as standard!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDriving around a tricked out horseshoe crab on wheels is fun, but if you want to add extra functions to your Trilobot, that's no problem. With a Raspberry Pi camera attached to the tidy \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in camera mount\u003c\/strong\u003e you can record yourself a robot's eye view, or even add some AI\/machine learning into the mix. It comes with an \u003cstrong\u003eultrasonic distance sensor\u003c\/strong\u003e so it can stop itself from bumping into things but we've made it easy to add more - there's two connectors for plugging in breakouts with Qwiic or STEMMA QT connectors, and broken out headers for adding up to five sockets for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.pimoroni.com\/collections\/breakout-garden\"\u003eBreakout Garden\u003c\/a\u003e breakouts (requires soldering).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe hardware is supported by a fully-featured \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/pimoroni\/trilobot-python\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePython library\u003c\/a\u003e, with controller code and lots of examples developed with the help of a top-tier Trilobot testing team.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note \u003cstrong\u003ethis is the Trilobot Base Kit only\u003c\/strong\u003e, you'll need to add your own Raspberry Pi, SD card, camera and battery bank.
