- 6 movement postures and 9 action postures for expressive, programmable motion
- App and WiFi control powered by the onboard ESP8266
- 18650 battery power for extended run time between charges
- USB-C direct charging no separate charger needed
- Laser-cut acrylic structure with custom servo horns
- Unified screw sizing to keep assembly simple for classroom use

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to buy anything else to run it?
Yes — one 18650 flat-top cell, which is not included in this version. Everything else needed to build and program the robot is in the box.
Do I need to know how to code first?
No. Start in ACE Code, which is block-based, then move the same projects across to Arduino when you are ready for text-based code.
How is the robot controlled?
Over WiFi from a mobile app, using the onboard ESP8266. You can also program movement patterns to run autonomously.
Do I need a separate battery charger?
No. The board charges directly over USB-C.
