$114.99 – $144.99 (no Pi)On Amazon US in October 2026, the Standard kit without a Raspberry Pi was $114.99 (only one left) and the Superior kit with the AI voice module, without a Pi, was $144.99. The Yahboom store charges $134.99 (Standard) and $164.99 (Superior) without a Pi, and $384.99 – $574.99 with a Raspberry Pi 5 (4, 8 or 16 GB). The 7.4 V 2000 mAh battery pack and charger are included. The Raspberry Pi 5 and microSD card are not, except in the Pi bundles. Year taken from the store listing date (September 2024).

Possibly ≤ 1 weekShipping: 2–5 days (Amazon), about 1–2 weeks from Yahboom (est.). The Standard kit without a Pi is sold by Yahboom and shipped by Amazon, with only one left and free delivery quoted for October 6 on an October 1 check. The Superior kit without a Pi on Amazon quoted October 14–23. Yahboom's own store ships from China by FedEx, UPS, DHL or YunExpress, says most orders arrive within 6 working days of dispatch, and leaves import duties to the buyer. Amazon ↗
Remote control: Code runs on the Pi 5. A laptop connects over SSH, VNC or the browser-based tutorials, and ROS 2 topics can be reached from a laptop on the same network.
Overview
A metal-frame Raspberry Pi 5 car with Mecanum wheels that can drive sideways, a pan-tilt USB camera and a long run of Python, OpenCV, MediaPipe and ROS 2 lessons. It suits teens and makers who already have, or plan to buy, a Pi 5 and want to move toward ROS. The Superior kit adds a voice module for large-model voice control. The Pi 5 adds to the price, the camera is only 1 MP, and the TT motors have no encoders.

|---|---|
| Released | 2024 |
| Country | China |
| Availability | Available |
| Programmability | Full SDK |
| Built-in autonomy | Reactive · Responds to its surroundings without a map, such as avoiding obstacles or following a person |
| LLM support | LLM plans actions · The Superior kit adds an AI voice module and speaker, and Yahboom's software uses large models through OpenRouter to answer questions, describe the camera view and turn spoken requests into moves. The Standard kit has no voice module, though its Python code can still be driven by an LLM. Whether an API key or paid account is needed is not stated (unconfirmed). Yahboom Raspbot V2 tutorials ↗ |
