This is the support page for the Tab Build Your Own
Robot Kit, a smartly designed robot kit you can buy
from many book retailers, including Barnes & Noble.
Created by electronics mavens Myke Predko and Ben
Wirz, the kit provides an out-of-the-box experience in
building and playing with a small two-motor robot. The
kit is designed so that you can add an optional Basic
Stamp microcontroller for custom programming.
