Welcome to Bug'n'Bots
Bug'n'Bots is your one-stop online shopping store for Educational Robotic Kits and Parts. We carry a wide variety of B.E.A.M. and Microcontroller Robotic products whatever your interests maybe. If you are a student and are interested in having us to do a demo or workshop at your school, please have your teacher contact us by e-mail as we would love to go to your school.
B.E.A.M. is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, Mechanics. BEAM Technology is the "Brain Child" of Dr. Mark Tilden a Canadian and Robotisist. BEAM Technology is based on creating Nervous Networks from simple everyday components, making simple, robust robots that interact with their environment without the use of a micro-controller or CPU for brains. This makes them ideal for all sorts of robotic projects from small robots all the way to the more complex robots with sophisticated sensor arrays. Bug'n'Bots is not just for boys or girls but is meant for all ages when a soldering iron can be used safely at both ends of the age spectrum. For more advanced people who are inclined to design their own custom robots Bug 'n' Bots is now proud to offer a full machine shop and has many skilled professionals that can make chassis, custom parts and pieces. We also can do custom animatronics,research and development,and printed circuit boards under licence. And for people who are not comfortable building their kits that they have bought we will also assemble them for a small fee. For more information please go to the kits and click on the picture for more information or contact us with your requests.
