Bigtrak Junior

Product Information

The BIG TRACK was a futuristic six-wheeled programmable tank, which allowed the owner to enter direction and distance parameters using a keypad.

Bigtrak Rover does not draw any power from your smartphone, and does not require Bluetooth or Wi-Fi connectivity. The accessories are: Camera (XTRcam), computer communication module (XTRCom) that also allows another accessory to be plugged to it, light (LightBar), Infrared emitter (IRGun), and projectiles (XTRMissile). The Maker Community uses the term 'making' as a broad term to include all sorts of artisan skills or craft activities.This electrical isolation helps prevent any electrical noise from the motor, speaker, and lamp from resetting or interfering with the microcontroller. The Out command is used in the 1970s/1980s Bigtrack to dump the cargo on its optional cargo trailer accessory. There is also a "repeat" instruction allowing simple loop to be performed, but the language is not Turing complete, lacking branching instructions; its programming also resembles the principles of turtle graphics from Logo programming language.

BigTrak is a chunky programmable floor robot with shooting sound effects and an optional rocket launcher accessory.Rover's on-board camera streams live video from his field of view, directly to your computer, tablet or phone. Version 1 has a single-position power switch, either on or off, whereas version 2 has a 3-position power switch, centre off, forward for use on carpets, back for use on smooth floors. The Bigtrak XTR is capable of being fitted with a communication module to wirelessly communicate with a computer. The US version was moulded in gray plastic and labelled "BIG TRAK", while the UK version was white and labelled "bigtrak" with a different keypad.
