FAQ
General Information
CYOBot is an open-source robotics platform and learning Dashboard. Explore coding, electronics and robot experiments through the official hardware resources, public project briefs and your workspace’s published lessons. Available projects and hardware requirements vary by model and workspace.
Learners, educators and makers can explore robotics with CYOBot. Choose activities that match your experience, equipment and supervision needs. Start with a small logic or display experiment before attempting a moving mechanism.
CYOBot offers a kit for exploring several areas of engineering. The engineering quiz helps learners explore career interests, and the Dashboard keeps their results together.
CYOBot Kit
The public model guides cover Python and Block programming. C/C++ firmware experiments require the correct board revision and development environment. Use the instructions for your exact model rather than assuming every tool or example is interchangeable.
Engineering Quiz and Dashboard
The ten-question quiz suggests three engineering careers to explore. Answer before signing in; sign in to save your results and see matches in the Dashboard. Matches reflect your interests, not a validated aptitude assessment.
Projects and Learning
Document a project with code you can publish, the model and firmware version, setup steps, test observations and limitations. Check licences and permissions and remove secrets and private student records. This is a manual documentation workflow, not automatic GitHub synchronization.
Use the open-source hardware and software resources as a starting point for experiments. Check the relevant licence, component compatibility and model instructions. Keep a known working baseline and test one change at a time.
Purchase and Pricing
Contact the CYOBot team to confirm current availability, pricing, kit contents and delivery options for your location. Historical campaign pages explain the product’s development but do not establish current stock or purchasing terms.
Confirm current account access and any commercial conditions with CYOBot or your workspace administrator before purchasing. Public project examples do not establish included Dashboard access or a subscription entitlement.
Support and Resources
Use the official model assembly guides, hardware repositories and wiki. For a product or setup question, email team.cyobot@gmail.com or use the contact form. Include your model, coding tool and observed issue. Ask the team to confirm support arrangements for your situation.
Identify your model and follow its setup guide, then try one small output. You can also answer the ten-question engineering quiz without signing in. Sign in to save answers and see career matches.
Other Information
Educators can plan hands-on activities using compatible hardware and published workspace lessons. Confirm equipment, supervision, access and learning objectives before a class. The public resources do not claim accreditation or alignment with a specific curriculum.
The Dashboard is available online to authorized accounts. Physical robot activities require compatible equipment and appropriate supervision; logic exercises may be possible without a robot. Confirm access, hardware and delivery arrangements before planning remote sessions.
Choose a small activity that fits the learner’s experience and supervision. Start with documented setup and an observable output, and check the hardware requirement for each lesson. CYOBot resources complement an education plan; they do not establish an accredited curriculum.
CYOBot provides practical experiments and learning resources. Combine hands-on work with suitable instruction in mathematics, electronics and programming. Seek an accredited programme when a formal qualification or verified curriculum is required.
For educators
Define an observable outcome, confirm compatible hardware and coding tools, and establish a working baseline before the lesson. Use published workspace quests where available, and assess predictions, observations and explanations as well as the final demonstration.
