RoboGuts™ circuit board

When I was asked if I was selling BillyBot robot toys I realized that maybe there's a place in the world for BillyBot robot toys. While I had originally designed the bot using mini servomotors, I hadn't actually planned on making one so after 3D printing the plastic parts I found there wasn't enough room inside the BillyBot for all the components and wiring needed to make it functional ... hence the RoboGuts™ circuit board was born. I had to design my own MCU board to fit everything inside the bot since even the Arduino UNO was too big for a 15cm tall robot toy. With the PICAXE 28X2 modules as the best choice of MCU modules for projects like this.

Next I expanded on the basic design to allow for any 2-pin to 28-pin DIP package so that users can choose whatever MCU chip or module they want to use on the RoboGuts™ circuit board. Now I have what I think is the smartest and easiest to use bread board in the world ... the best MCU board ever since almost any chip or module fits and works on the RoboGuts™ circuit board ... but even better is that also built onto the RoboGuts™ circuit board is the space for a SpeakJet chip and a small audio amplifier so any project ... a robot or animatronics project can talk and sing in any language.

So I'm posing the link to my web site looking for either 233 pre-sale orders or an "Angel Investor" to help me start selling the RoboGuts™ circuit boards. ITMT, I hope everybody can enjoy the projects and even provide new projects and program listings to help make the PICAXE chips and modules the de facto standard in elementary and middle schools around the world ... and any age beginner Roboteers.


These make great welcome bots too;
