Educational robots offer a platform for training aspiring engineers and building trust in technology that is envisioned to shape how we work and live.In education, accessibility and modularity are significant in the choice of such a technological platform.In order to foster continuous development of the robots Faber TWEET EG8 BK A55 55cm Wall Chimney Cooker Hood Extractor 330.0572.387 as well as to improve student engagement in the design and fabrication process, safe production methods with low accessibility barriers should be chosen.In this paper, we present Robotont 3, an open-source mobile robot that leverages Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D-printing for manufacturing the chassis and a single dedicated system board that can be ordered from online printed circuit board (PCB) assembly services.

To promote accessibility, the project follows open hardware practices, such as design Neff D85IBE1S0B Chimney Cooker Hood A Energy Rating Black transparency, permissive licensing, accessibility in manufacturing methods, and comprehensive documentation.Semantic Versioning was incorporated to improve maintainability in development.Compared to the earlier versions, Robotont 3 maintains all the technical capabilities, while featuring an improved hardware setup to enhance the ease of fabrication and assembly, and modularity.The improvements increase the accessibility, scalability and flexibility of the platform in an educational setting.
