Our World of Robots & Kits
From bipedal walkers to custom line-followers, we design and build everything right here. See the robots our students and team are tinkering with in our makerspace.
Meet Bob-bot Version 2! This bipedal walking robot is one of our advanced kit designs. We're constantly iterating and improving our models to make complex robotics concepts accessible and fun to build.
This is one of our advanced omnidirectional robots, built by students from St. Joseph's Boys' High School. Its special wheels allow it to move in any direction, demonstrating complex drivetrain mechanics and programming.
A walking robot prototype in action. This kit is designed to teach students about linkages and locomotion, using sensors to interact with its environment.
An intern's final project: a successful line-following robot! This video shows the culmination of his hard work, debugging the code and calibrating the sensors to make the robot navigate the track perfectly.
A customized Bob-bot, painted red and ready for action. We love it when students add their own creative flair to our robot kits.
A sneak peek at a new bot in the making, complete with a joystick controller. We are always prototyping new ideas to expand our range of interactive and educational robots.
An eighth-grader designed this custom PCB for a project. We were blown away by his initiative and skill, a true example of what young makers can achieve with focus and access to the right tools.
Holding up the crescent-shaped custom circuit boards designed by one of our young students. This is a huge accomplishment that even many engineering students don't attempt.
The custom PCB after being populated with infrared sensors. This board is the core of a sophisticated line-following robot, designed entirely by a middle school student.

About Our World of Robots & Kits
What makes these robots different isn't just the code, but the chassis. We design and laser-cut our own proprietary MDF kits, which lets students understand the mechanics of locomotion and drivetrain far better than they would with pre-assembled plastic toys. It is about building the whole machine from the ground up, not just wiring a black box.
Engineering, Not Just Assembly
We believe you haven't really learned robotics until you’ve seen a sensor fail, debugged the line-following code, or manually populated a circuit board. Our makerspace isn't a classroom in the traditional sense. It is an engineering hub where we turn abstract physics concepts into tangible motion.
Projects That Teach
Our collection shows the breadth of what we build:
- Proprietary Kits: Our Bob-bot series isn't just for show. We use these wooden kits to teach linkages, balance, and motor control. When a student builds a bipedal robot that actually walks, they understand center of gravity in a way a textbook never explains.
- Custom Electronics: We encourage students to move beyond breadboards. Some of our 8th graders are now designing and populating their own custom crescent-shaped PCBs for sensor arrays, a level of skill that even many undergraduate engineers skip.
- Mechanism Study: To make concepts real, we don't hide the mechanics. We cut open motors, expose drivetrains, and keep our wiring visible. If you can see the commutator spinning inside a motor, you understand it.
We don't just supply the kits; we supply the environment where things can go wrong, be fixed, and eventually, race perfectly across the floor. Whether you are a school looking to integrate a real robotics curriculum or a parent wanting your child to pick up a soldering iron instead of a controller, this is where it happens.
