Dexter Industries has launched GoPiGo 3, the third version of its popular GoPiGo robot car kit, along with “a whole new operating system, DexterOS, designed specifically for learning how to program robots intuitively.”

The new kit has an updated sensor board, with ports including “two I2C and two AD (analogue or digital), one serial, two servo. Everything is a lot more robust so you can daisy-chain and add on easily.”

GoPiGo 3 is 'totally redesigned'

Dexter Industries’ Taryn Sullivan says that the GoPiGo3 is “totally redesigned and we’ve added a lot of features that will be great for educators.” The DexterOS software allows you or your students to build code in Bloxter (based on Google’s Blockly) or Python, and is compatible with the GoPiGo2.

Dexter Industries website explains:

The GoPiGo is a complete kit to build your own robot car. GoPiGo works at the level you’re at — whether you are a parent looking for a smart, fun weekend project to do with your kid, a teacher looking for a way to increase engagement in your science course, or a grad student in need of a platform for your robotics research that requires mobility.

The GoPiGo3 is on sale now priced at $99 for the Base Kit, and $199 for the Beginner Starter Kit, with free shipping in the US. It should be on sale soon in the UK at ModMyPi.
