CONCLUSIONS
An open robot can be used for a longer time by the same group of
students.
Full access to the hardware and software information.
Open projects have a large community of users.

The project history – In the BeginningThe project history – In the Beginning
In September 2010 we were participating in an
international robotic soccer competition in Bergamo, Italy, in the
Bergamosciencza science festival.
It was then when we shared a little meeting with David and Massimo of the Arduino Team, and where we stated the
basis of this new project. There is where the Lottie Lemon project was born.

We used this new version to present it in our association stand in the 2012 RoboCupJunior World Championship, celebrated in Mexico City.
April 2012, the firs t Workshop, in Alcalá de Henares university (Spain).
By the summer of 2012 we had a very improved version of the robot.

CONCLUSIONS
Currently for some teams is not easy to start in
RoboCupJunior leagues.
We propose a parallel semi-standard league in which all teams use similar hardware platform, of course this
platform should be low cost and Open platform, so this platform is Arduino Robot.
THE PROBLEM → USE THE BEST SOLUTION
The students learn little

CONCLUSIONS
With Arduino Robot we can play a simple Soccer match. His movements are more limited than an omnidirectional platform but it s possible follow the ball with simples movements like forward and turn.
First the participants learn basics knowledge. Then they are more prepared to design, build and program a soccer robot competition.

CONCLUSIONS
Arduino Robot can work as a line follower using his five reflective floor sensors. It would be possible to perform a simple rescue league with victims and obstacles.
Participants can learn how floor sensors work and characteristics of different ultrasonic sensors.
With Arduino robot beginners can learn how to adjust a PID control before design an own platform.

CONCLUSIONS
Arduino Robot has an oversized motor system so beginners can put all kind of costumes and figures in order to organized dance stage.
Normally in dance league the participants use two or more robots so the price is very important. Arduino Robot is a Open low cost platform.
Of course beginners participants can learn about coordination between robots and can add microphone
sensor.

CONCLUSIONS
● Arduino Robot is a learning tool that could be used since primary school to college.
● It is a Open tool and thus we could learn how it s built and propose improvements.
● The user community is very big, by the reason there s to much information in the web.
● In the Arduino Robot is accumulated 11 years of Complubot s experience working in educational robotics.
● The modular structure of two plates in the Arduino Robot is based in the Complubot s competition robots developments.
● The Boards of Arduino Robot could work together as a single robot or separately, giving them the option to interact with other devices.
● Arduino Robot is an Educational low cost tool.
