HP - OTTO Starter Builder Kit

The HP OTTO Starter Builder Kit offers students an exciting entry point into robotics with a fully modular and programmable robot. With no 3D printing required, learners can dive straight into construction using the included components. This versatile robot features obstacle detection, line tracking, and RGB LEDs, and supports both block-based and text-based coding, making it perfect for learners aged 8 and up.

Educational Benefits:

• Teaches foundational electronics, robotics, and coding concepts.
• Encourages creativity through modular assembly and LED customisation.
• Bridges beginner-friendly block coding and advanced text programming.
• Supports STEAM learning with hands-on design, logic, and movement tasks.

Classroom Ideas:

• Have students build and personalise their OTTO robot, then present its functions.
• Create simple animations or responses using the LED lights.
• Program obstacle avoidance routines and test in classroom mazes.
• Use the robot's line-following abilities for guided path design or races.
• Explore basic engineering by modifying the robot's behaviour with different code.

Product Specifications:

• Includes all parts to build one functional OTTO robot-no 3D printing needed.
• Equipped with integrated Bluetooth/Wi-Fi, servo motors, LED lights, sensors.
• Programmable with block-based, Python, or Arduino (C++) code.
• Suitable for ages 8+ with supervision; 14+ independently.
