If you're hungry for some robot action then the Pi2Go is the beast for you. The Pi2Go is the complete robot for use with your Raspberry Pi and supports all models (except the very first release, which has no mounting holes): Model A, Model B, Model A+, Model B+, Pi 2 Model B and Pi 3 Model B. Assembly is quick and simple, with no separate chassis - everything is connected to the main circuit board. There is no soldering or gluing required, the assembly just screws together.
For software, a python library module is available that has some example programs that will demonstrate:
Move motors forwards, backwards, spin left/right or do sweeping turns
Read the values from all the IR sensors (On or Off)
Read the distance using the ultrasonic sensor
Read the value of the switch
Set the RGB LEDs to any colours you want
Set the position of each servo

Included with the Pi2Go are:
- 5V Switching regulator that can supply a fully loaded Pi as well as all the motors etc. on the Pi2Go
- 2x DC motors
- 3x IR obstacle sensors with LEDs, that detect objects within 10cm (left side, right side and front)
- 2x IR line sensors with LEDs
- Ultrasonic distance sensor
- User-defined push button
- 4x Pairs of fully controllable RGB LEDs
- 4x Light sensors with analog to digital converter built-in
- 4x Servo outputs controlled by onboard hardware
- An active power supply monitor that shuts down motors if the battery is low, and sends a signal to the Pi if getting very low
- ScratchGPIO version 7 and later fully supports Pi2Go
- Wheels 65mm diameter
- Assembled size approx. 155 x 140 x 90mm
