Shell E - 3D Printed Robot

Requires access to a 3D printer

Integrate design, 3D printing, electronics, and coding into your STEAM classroom with the Shell-E Innovation Kit.

Inspire Creativity and Innovation

Students will develop as creative thinkers as they design a custom robot chassis and bring it to life using the powerful EZ-B IoTiny robot controller. Create authentic learning experiences as students explore:

• Object tracking and recognition with the advanced camera
• Speech recognition
• Machine learning
• Virtual reality experiences

3D Printable Open Source Parts

The 3D printable STL files for all EZ-Bits and robot parts are available in the ARC Software. Customize and 3D print your own robot parts and designs. Share your creations with other EZ-Robot users from around the world!

The EZ-B: Your Robot's High-Tech Brain

At the heart of over 20,000 robots worldwide is the EZ-B v4 Smart Robot Controller – a powerful and compact robot brain suitable for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. Its stylish white plastic shell protects the speaker and electronics, with a speaker chamber for enhanced audio. For advanced users, the EZ-B can be removed from its casing and mounted directly in your custom robot.
