m3pi Expansion Kit for 3pi Robot

Special-order only: With the release of our newer 3pi+ platform, we are phasing out the original 3pi-based robots, including the m3pi. Once the remaining stock is gone, this product will only be available by special high-volume order. Please contact us for more information.

The m3pi expansion kit gives 3pi robot users a convenient way to upgrade the functionality of their robots by adding more features, enabling the use of more capable high-level controllers like an mbed development board, and making it easy to integrate wireless modules like an XBee or Wixel.

This kit is also available fully-assembled with a 3pi robot. Please see the m3pi robot product page for more information.

The kit includes an expansion PCB with all of the surface-mount parts populated as shown in the following picture:
