The MakerClub Robotic arm is the ideal starter project for someone looking to get into the maker movement. We teach a combination of 3D printing, programming and electronics, and no prior experience is required.

The robot arm looks incredible and is a cool toy as well as an educational tool.

By the end of this project you’ll understand everything you need to know to modify your robotic arm, and even start coming up with your own inventions.

What’s included?

Our bespoke Hornet board, a circuitboard specifically designed for robotics
5 Servo motors
AA battery pack (batteries not included)
3D design files to print and manipulate
Hours of video tutorials
Our MakerClub mobile app for Android and iOS

Minimum requirements

For the best experience you will need a laptop and a smart phone with Android or iOS
