Using the GoPiGo Beginner Classroom Kit is easy. First, assemble the robots. It only takes about 30 minutes. Read the instructions carefully during assembly to ensure everything is put together correctly. Once assembled, connect the sensors, servos, and camera using the GoPiGo board. Then, turn on the robot and start programming with the DexterOS software. You can use the built - in Bloxter lessons to learn how to program. When using the robot in the classroom, be careful not to drop it or hit it too hard, as it might get damaged. To maintain the kit, keep the parts clean and dry. After each use, store the robots and all the components in the provided storage bins. If you have any issues with the motors or sensors, check the connections first. And remember, there's no need to download or install extra software on your device to use the GoPiGo.
