Parallax S2 Robot and Basic Stamp Activity Bundle: STEM / Robotics / Education

This order includes two separate kits!:

• The 2nd release of the Scribbler (S2) Robot
  
• Basic Stamp Microcontroller Kit from Parallax
  

1) The Scribbler S2 is a fully assembled, ready‑to‑use educational robot powered by the Parallax Propeller multicore microcontroller. It comes preloaded with multiple autonomous behaviors and can be programmed using a graphical interface (block based) or the Spin language. Built‑in sensors allow it to follow lines, detect obstacles, respond to light, draw patterns, and navigate environments with precision. After learning how to use the block based language, it is easy to transition to the text based language by examining the code generated by the blocks. In my opinion, the construction of this robot is top rate for this category.

Key S2 Features

• Pre‑programmed autonomous modes

• IR object sensors

• Light sensors

• Wheel encoders for accurate movement

• Microphone and speaker

• Pen port for drawing

• Hacker port for add‑on modules

• Runs on 6 AA batteries

2) The BASIC Stamp Activity Kit is a complete microcontroller learning system that teaches programming, electronics, and hardware interaction. It includes the BASIC Stamp module, breadboard, components, and guided experiments that build real‑world skills.

Kit Highlights

• BASIC Stamp 2 and components for hands‑on projects

• USB or serial programming interface (depending on activities for learning sensors, outputs, and logic

• Ideal for beginners and classroom use
