Robo Jr. Line Tracer

The Microrobot KIT Robo Jr Line Tracer (assembly and soldering required)

The Robo Junior kits come with clear, easy to follow directions. They can be ordered with the circuit board either assembled (no soldering required) or unassembled. These robot kits are ideal for someone just beginning to explore the world of robotics.

Robo Jr. is a basic line-tracing robot. It follows a path laid out for it along a floor or other smooth surface. The path must be a dark line on a light background. The colours are not important, but it will not work if there is not sufficient contrast.

Robo Jr. has two infrared emitters on it front along with two sensors. One pair is on the left, the other on the right. Each emitter projects infrared light onto the floor. The amount of light reflected back from the dark line differs from that reflected from the floor; thus it can tell where the dark line is. Each sensor controls a motor, enabling it to follow the line.

SmartAmp™ Bi-Directional 900MHz: 10Watt

The SmartAmp™ Bi-Directional 900MHz: 10Watt

Full output power of 10 W is achieved with only 16 mW input to the amplifier. Above 16 mW input, the SmartAmp™ attenuates the input signal power and maintains the output power typically at 10W.

The built-in dynamic power sensor in SmartAmp™ adjusts the Radio Frequency (RF) power output level by reading the input signal power.

This Automatic Gain Control (AGC) Technology, Teletronics' patented technology effectively making the RF amplifiers "Plug & Play" delivers the maximum output power at various input levels while keeping the distortion at a minimum. Ideal for increasing the range of low power devices and to compensate for cable loss in certain installations.
