====== PiBot Lessons ======

This documentation provides training material for using the [[https://www.amazon.com/OSOYOO-Raspberry-Educational-Ultrasonic-Obstacle/dp/B08JLS3J7Q|OSOYOO Pie Robot Car]] to teach basic Linux, Python, and electronics skills. This robot uses a Raspberry Pi as the brains along with several interface boards to control the motors, provide feedback, and interface to sensors. A robot with the Raspberry Pi was chosen because it provides a well known platform that students can quickly get started with yet has plenty of power to grow with them as they progress.

This documentation is broken into several lessons and challenges that progress from building the robot and performing basic maneuvers to fully autonomous operation using vision navigation.
