CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
1.2 Additionally required components
For Crash Bobby, a standard model-making rechargeable battery of 7.2, 9.6 or 12 volts can
be used. However, the qfix rechargeable battery pack (order No. QAAC000) is especially
suited to this use since it already contains the required adapter cable and Velcro strips for
simple mounting of the batteries.
For charging the battery, a standard battery charger can be used or, alternatively, the qfix
plug-in battery charger (order No. RBAD000) is available.
1.3 Interesting extensions
The following extensions to the Crash-Bobby kit bring even more fun into your robotics
adventure:
Line sensor set (No. QAAAB000) for moving along a line.
Bumper set (No. QAAB005) to react to contact with obstacles.
LC-display board (No. QAAF001) for displaying arbitrary information.
For beginners in computer programming the graphical programming environment "Grape"
(No. QAAH000) is an interesting tool.
