Providing Everything You Need
You've found Tronbots' annual school's event!
Grab a kit with all the tricky stuff done - no programming or soldering.
Just add your own box! Make it as simple or as elaborate as you like.
The latest kits come with a build plate and hazard tape to mark out an arena on your floor.
Plain cardboard boxes will never be enough! Teams dress up their boxbot and sometimes even dress up themselves! Throughout the event, teams complete a series of challenges including sumo, navigating a maze, and rob-the-nest. Previous years have also seen robots draw with markers, complete maths challenges, and play noughts and crosses.
The kids are having a ball with these Boxbots kits!
