Awesome Extras
The third in the series is here! The CamJam EduKit #3 is focused on robotics and contains (almost) everything you need to create your very own Raspberry Pi-powered robot.
CamJam EduKits are your way into the world of building electronic circuits and programming the Raspberry Pi in Python!
All you need to add is your own chassis (use the box!), Raspberry Pi (any Model B or Zero with a pin header) & 4x AA batteries! Then follow the worksheets to make your own motorized buggy. Add the included sensors and you will soon be detecting objects in front of your robot and following line courses!
There are two more kits in the EduKit family - click here to view them!
Not compatible with the Raspberry Pi Pico
Kit Contents
Included in the kit are the following components:
- A custom-designed, pre-soldered motor controller board (with screw terminals)
- Two DC motors (with wires pre-soldered)
- Two custom red wheels (which go extra fast… because they’re red!)
- A ball castor (used as the ‘third wheel’ to your robot)
- A small breadboard (to create your circuits)
- Two pieces of strong 3M padded double-sided tape
- A battery box for 4x AA batteries (batteries not included)
- An ultrasonic distance sensor (for detecting objects in front of your robot)
- A line follower sensor (for detecting and following black lines)
- Resistors and jumper cables with which to complete your circuits
- A strong cardboard box to keep it all in… or to cut into to make your chassis!
Note: If the wheels feel a bit tight when fitting to the motors, use a screwdriver or pen to open up the wheel hole a little, or add a tiny dab of washing up liquid.
Worksheets
The kit is accompanied by a set of downloadable worksheets that will take you through a series of exercises to show you how to build your robot!
Compatability
You can use the Edukit and worksheets with all Raspberry Pi boards from the Pi 4 to Pi Zero (except the Raspberry Pi Pico).
Community Hacks & Features!
Got a 3D printer? Daniel Bull has very kindly designed an awesome chassis, available from Thingiverse ...
Alex Eames over at Raspi.TV got his hands on a prototype, here's what he did!
And another review! This time from TheRaspberryPiGuy! Thanks Matt!

CamJam EduKit #3 - Robotics
This is a great kit for exploring motors, sensing and robotics. Very useful code examples and many enthusiastic videos to turn to for help. I built mine into a Meccano(ish) campervan that was a joke present from my wife but absolutely perfect for this kit.

Great kit especially when you can use the box as the chassis.
Shame there aren't better instructions out there.
We used these kits as part the scouts electronics badge with our scout troop

CamJam EduKit #3 - Robotics
I bought this as a way for me to learn basics of robotics and how to use my Raspberry Pi. It's been a really fun experience with guided worksheets and all the components I needed to get started. I fully recommend it for anyone looking for a fun little project.

CamJam EduKit #3 - Robotics
Everything arrived promptly. I would have liked something better than the cardboard box it came in to use as a chassis but fortunately I already had a plastic box which was suitable.
The instructions, when downloaded, were fairly good and covered all the basics.
Overall 9 out of 10.
