The Turtle 2WD DIY Robotics building kit is a entry level programmable robot kit based on Arduino.

With just a few simple steps of assembling the hardware and tuning the software, and you’ll learn all about Arduino, robotics, sensors, Bluetooth communication as well as obstacle avoidance and remote controlling. You can also take it further with your own code to take advantage of the ultrasonic sensor, Romeo ( a Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE) Arduino Compatible Microcontroller ) , IR distance sensors, and LEDs.

The Turtle 2WD Mobile Platform is a small, low-cost mobile platform compatible with standard Arduino microcontrollers. It contains two drive motors, wheels (and rear caster ball), frame and all mounting hardware. It is widely used as self-developed control classis for Arduino and other control boards. The Turtle 2WD has multiple features such as two differential drives, near zero turning radius, high-strength aluminum alloy body material, motors, and a flexible rubber wheel makes it suitable for indoor flat road surface and flat-platform robot competitions. The top layer includes a standard servo socket and the three optional sensor holder. This three sensor holder fits with our adjustable IR range sensor. The servo can be used for a simple rotation platform, two degrees of freedom camera holder, or even a robotic arm.

Thanks to Romeo BLE, the kit can be controlled by APP (IOS). Simply download an APP (GoBLE) to enjoy the control from your IOS device.
