The Mobile Robotics VMX/Titan Workshop Kit is used in the classroom for teaching, testing and doing research in mobile robotics. It includes each the essential components and is referenced in the WorldSkills Mobile Robotics Shanghai 2022 training material.

The Studica VMX FRC-compatible Training Bot (FRC Trainer) is a smaller, sturdy, lightweight, and less expensive robot than your typical FRC robot. If you have a large FRC team, often only a handful of students get to learn how to create and program your team’s costly competition robot.  The FRC Trainer solves this problem and is ideal for groups of two to three to participate in hands-on learning in a classroom environment.  Schools can equip their labs with multiple FRC Trainers, benefiting from the great value and compact size. Students can even take it home with them! 

This affordable solution is intended for:

• FRC teams that want to learn and train on a smaller and more affordable robot,
• Schools looking for a way to teach FRC robotics in the classroom.
• Schools that want to teach coding in the classroom through robotics.

The FRC-compatible Trainer is an intelligent and autonomous robot that uses the VMX Advanced Robotics Controller which can be programmed in C++ and Java.  VMX’s multitude of modern digital communications interfaces and Linux-based operating system allow users to directly access most modern devices (e.g., Intel RealSense tracking and depth cameras and LIDAR).

The TinkerKit! DMX Master Shield is used to drive a series of DMX receivers. In order to be programmed via Arduino, it requires the DMX Library Like a regular shield it has to be plugged on top of the Arduino and it can be stacked on top of other shields. It is used both as OUTPUT and INPUT (also if the official library at the moment supports only the OUTPUT communication). For each line it has two kinds of port that can be used: the DMX connector or normal pins. On the front it has two DMX connectors, one for the INPUT and one for the OUTPUT.

TinkerKit Gyroscope 2 Axis sensitivity 4X is a device that measures orientation. This module outputs 0V to 5V on one of its two signal pins when its angle is changed (e.g. is moved). The value is approximately 2.5V when there is no angle change in the X or Y axis. When you connect this module to the input on an Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can expect to read values between 0 to 1023, while changing the angle of the module.

This version of the module outputs the 4X pins on the chip. It is a sensor and each connector is an output, which must be connected to one of the input connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

TinkerKit Linear Potentiometer module is a commonly used variable resistor. This module outputs 5v when the slider is at one end and 0v when moved in the opposite way. When connected to an input on the Arduino using the TinkerKit Shield, you can expect to read values going from 0 to 1023.This module features a 4k7 Ohm linear potentiometer, a signal amplifier, the standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered and a yellow LED whose brightness changes according to the position of the potentiometer.
 

This module is a sensor. The connector is an output, which must be connected to one of the input connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.

TinkerKit Red Led [10mm] module is a low power light source that is available in several different colors. It lights up when powered from an Arduino pin. This module features a 10mm red light emitting diode, the standard TinkerKit 3pin connector, a green LED that signals that the module is correctly powered and a tiny yellow LED that shows the current brightness of the red LED. A resistor provides the optimal amount of current when connected to an Arduino.

Note: This module is an actuator, therefore the connector is an input that need to be connected to one of the output connectors on the TinkerKit Shield.
