BerryBot: Making Coding Fun and Accessible for Kids
BerryBot is a robotics programming kit aimed at developing children's skills in robotics infrastructure, basic programming, hand-eye coordination, problem-solving, and more. Thanks to the main board included in the kit, motor connections that allow the robot to move physically can be made quickly. With its easy-to-assemble wooden body, the mechanical and electronic setup of the robot can be completed in a short time.
Once you have completed the setup of BerryBot, you can improve your programming skills by programming it using the PicoBricks IDE either in a block-based or text-based manner.

Programming Platforms
BerryBot supports both block-based and text-based programming editors. BerryBot can be programmed online with block-based and text-based coding using the PicoBricks IDE. Additionally, you can develop projects in Python and C programming languages with text-based coding using editors like Thonny IDE and Arduino IDE, which you can download to your computer.
BerryBot Modes
BerryBot comes with 4 pre-made modes: obstacle avoidance, sumo robot, line following, and light following. You can quickly run these modes and perform tasks on the track using the buttons in the PicoBricks Go! application, or by using the ready-made PicoBricks IDE and Thonny IDE (MicroPython) codes.
Kickstarter
A Kickstarter campaign for BerryBot will be launched soon. Robotistan is an experienced electronics company that has successfully organized Kickstarter campaigns in the past. They previously launched campaigns for PicoBricks for Raspberry Pi Pico and PicoBricks for micro:bit, delivering the products to backers successfully. Additionally, the PicoBricks product has received numerous awards, including BETT UK, iF Design, Pre-Takeoff, and many others.
