3pi+ 32U4 OLED Robot - Turtle Edition (75:1 LP Motors), Assembled

The Pololu 3pi+ 32U4 OLED Robot - Turtle Edition is a compact, high-performance mobile platform that showcases the power of the ATmega32U4 MCU, compatible with Arduino. It's equipped with dual quadrature encoders for precise speed or position control, line sensors, front bump sensors, and a full Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) consisting of a 3-axis accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyro. A graphical OLED display enhances user interaction, all in a robot small enough to fit in your hand.

The Turtle Edition is equipped with 75:1 LP 6V Micro Metal Gearmotors, providing longer battery life compared to other editions. With a maximum speed of approximately 0.4 m/s, it is perfect for applications requiring slow, controlled speed. This includes coordinated swarm robots and introductory robotics courses.

One of the key benefits of the Pololu 3pi+ 32U4 OLED Robot - Turtle Edition is its ability to provide real-time feedback and control. The dual quadrature encoders allow for closed-loop control, enabling the robot to accurately monitor and adjust its speed or position. This makes it an excellent learning tool for those studying robotics or control systems.

The robot's full IMU, comprising a 3-axis accelerometer, magnetometer, and gyro, allows it to sense its surroundings and react accordingly. This makes it ideal for applications requiring autonomous navigation or balance control.

The Turtle Edition's 75:1 LP 6V Micro Metal Gearmotors not only extend battery life but also provide a slow, controlled speed. This makes it perfect for applications requiring precision and control, such as swarm robotics or slow-paced obstacle navigation.

Finally, the Pololu 3pi+ 32U4 OLED Robot - Turtle Edition is a compact, palm-sized robot, making it convenient for use in a variety of settings. Despite its small size, it packs a punch with its advanced features and capabilities, making it a versatile tool for both education and research.
