Foundations
Arduino, breadboards, sensors, and motor drivers — the four ideas every robot is made of.

The Learn library
Guides that actually get you to a working robot
Every guide includes a full bill of materials with indicative Indian prices, wiring tables that explain why, complete tested sketches, and a troubleshooting section written from real bench mistakes.
Getting started with Arduino
Install the IDE, upload your first sketch, wire an LED and a sensor, and learn the handful of concepts every robot build uses.
45 min · Read guide →Arduino robot car (2WD)
The classic first robot: full BOM, chassis assembly, L298N wiring table, battery advice, and a reusable drive() function.
2–3 hours · Read guide →Line follower robot
Add two IR sensors to the robot car and follow a black track — then graduate to PID control for competition speed.
1–2 hours · Read guide →Learning tracks
A ladder, not a pile of projects
Each track adds exactly one new skill and reuses the parts you already bought. That is how a ₹1,500 robot car becomes a line follower, then an obstacle avoider, then a competition machine.
Robot builds
The 2WD car, the line follower, and the obstacle avoider — one chassis, three robots.

FAQ
Questions, answered honestly
Anything else? Ask us directly — enquiries go straight to the people building this.
Are the guides really free?
Yes. Every build guide, parts list, and the project ladder is free to read and free to use in classrooms. Paid plans are for the learning portal we are building — progress tracking, institute dashboards, and workshops — not for the guides.
I have never touched electronics. Where do I start?
Start with the Getting started with Arduino guide — it assumes nothing and takes about 45 minutes. After that, the robot car build is your first real robot.
How much does a first robot cost?
Roughly ₹1,100–1,900 for the complete 2WD robot car if you are starting from zero, and every part is reused in later projects. The robot car guide has the full itemised parts list.
Do you sell kits?
Not yet. We publish exact bills of materials built from standard modules (Arduino Uno, L298N, HC-SR04…) that you can buy from any electronics seller in India. Curated kit bundles are on the roadmap — tell us if you want them.
What do the paid plans include?
They are early-access plans for the portal under development: guided project tracks with progress records for students, and batch dashboards, workshop scheduling, and progress reports for institutes. Early subscribers directly shape the feature set.
Can you run a robotics workshop at our school?
Yes — workshops and custom project sessions are quoted per batch. Send batch size, student ages, and your city through the enquiry form.
