fischertechnik is widely recognized as a pioneer in the area of robotics education. In fact, fischertechnik was the very first construction set manufacturer to provide students with the ability to both build and program their own robotic models, using the original, pre-"Macintosh" era Apple computers.
The fischertechnik Robotics line enables students to construct realistic, fully-functional automated models. Whether you want to build a mobile robot for competion purposes, or an automated conveyor belt to explore and understand control systems and mechatronics, fischertechnik provides you with the tools to do so. Models can be programmed with the help of ROBO Pro Coding, fischertechnik's brand new mix of graphic and text based programming software for Windows based PCs and devices, as well as Linux, Mac, and even Chromebooks using the Android app. Perfect for classrooms, home schools, and hobbyists.
The fischertechnik Education Robotics: BT Beginner has over 380 pieces and the aid of sensors (phototransistors, push buttons) and actuators (XS motors, LED light barriers). Students can construct 12 easy-to understand models such as hand dryer, carousel, level crossing, conveyor belt with stamping machine and mobile caterpillar machine.
The fischertechnik “Starter Set for micro:bit” is a great method for introducing students in grade 3 and above to the basic principles of programming with single board micro:bit computers. The set includes the fischertechnik parts needed for building three stationary models, and the new fischertechnik “micro:bit IO F5 adapter”.

The Pi-F5-HAT is a fischertechnik adapter for the Raspberry PI. The Pi-F5-HAT can be used to control DC and SERVO motors as well as digital and analogue sensors. With the programming language of your choice (Python, C, Scratch, ...), the Hat can be managed in such a way that no special libraries are required. It is possible to work simultaneously with 4 DC motors bidirectionally and 2 SERVO motors (microservo 4.8V / 6V). The number of motors that can work simultaneously depends on the power supply connected to the Pi-F5-HAT (e.g. fischertechnik power supply 9V / 2.5A). The Pi-F5-HAT and the Raspberry PI together can also be supplied with power by a 9V power supply unit or a fischertechnik battery (1800 mAh). The output voltage which supplies the DC motors corresponds approximately to the input supply voltage of the Pi-F5-HAT (9 V). the HAT also supports the operation of all fischertechnik DC motors (S motor, XS, XM, encoder motor).
Specially designed adapter to bridge the gap between the micro:bit controller and the versatile fischeretchnik modular system. The adapter board has 8 outputs and 6 inputs.
