The DigiBot 2.0 kit includes components for 100+ experiments, but if you're just getting started, these five are the ones that always get the biggest "wow" reactions.
1. The Cliff Avoider
Program DigiBot to detect the edge of a table and stop itself — or even reverse. This teaches sensors, logic conditions, and real-world safety systems. It's a crowd favourite because the moment the robot stops itself at the edge, kids feel like they've built something genuinely intelligent.
2. The Line Follower
A classic for good reason. Two IR sensors and a loop of black tape is all it takes. Great for understanding feedback loops — the same principle used in self-driving cars.
3. The Plant Watering Alarm
Using the moisture sensor, DigiBot monitors soil dampness and triggers a buzzer when the plant needs water. A perfect weekend project that combines electronics with real-life usefulness — and keeps your plants alive.
4. The Morning Alarm Robot
Program a buzzer sequence, a flashing LED pattern, and a motor-triggered "arm" to wake you up. Kids who build this learn about timing, sequences, and output combinations. Plus it's hilarious to show friends.
5. The Obstacle Avoider
Using the ultrasonic sensor, DigiBot measures distance to objects in its path and steers around them. This is the closest you'll get to real robotics AI without any actual machine learning — and it only takes an afternoon to build.
Each experiment has step-by-step instructions in the kit guide. Stuck on any step? Ask Docky AI — it knows every experiment inside out.
