GoPiGo3 Starter kit

GoPiGo3 Starter Kit : the complete robot kit for Raspberry Pi 3

The GoPiGo3 Starter Kit includes a complete robotics set, including not only all the hardware you need to assemble a mobile robot, but also a Raspberry Pi 3 and GoPiGo3 microcontroller as well as various accessories, for example a distance sensor, a WiFi dongle and a USB drive.

Ultimately you’ll have a Raspberry Pi mobile robot that’s intelligent, scalable (thanks to the other accessories available in the Dexter Industries GoPiGo3 range) and fully programmable in different languages.

GoPiGo3: a robotics kit for everyone

The kit contains a flash SD card with Dexter OS, an operating system designed by Dexter for programming in block language (Bloxter) and Python. For experienced users or those who want to learn other languages such as Node.js, Java and C, it is possible to download the Raspbian for Robots image.

There are lots of projects available online to help you practice.
