The Gizmo platform is made up of software, hardware, and other resources developed by a team of engineers who want to help you build cool stuff. You can use the Gizmo to build a robot, create an interactive art project, or as part of a larger project.
Our platform is designed to be a turn-key system for competition robotics, and we’re proud to be working with BEST Robotics to deliver the Gizmo for limited Pilot as part of the 2024 game year.
The Gizmo started as an idea of what was the minimum amount of stuff you could add to the popular Raspberry Pi Pico microcontroller to make it function as a complete robot controller without it being too complicated to use. The Gizmo is heavily inspired by the amazing work done by Parallax Inc and their BoE concept.
The Gizmo Team would like to thank GitHub user @StefMa for the excellent port of our website theme, and for the many tallented artists at Vecteezy for the vector graphics you see around our site.
We’d also like to extend our thanks to the team at Zulip who run our messaging system free of charge.
