Features Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 microcontroller
Includes graphical OLED display and indicator LEDs
Provides advanced inertial measurement unit for precision
Supports customization with multiple expansion ports
The Pololu 3pi+ 32U4 OLED Robot Kit w/ 15:1 HPCB Motors (Hyper Edition Kit) is a sophisticated mobile platform designed for advanced users seeking a high-performance, programmable robot. This kit requires assembly, including soldering, and is based on the Arduino-compatible ATmega32U4 microcontroller. It features a compact design with a diameter of 9.7 cm, making it a versatile choice for various robotics applications.
Equipped with a pair of 15:1 HPCB 6V Micro Metal Gearmotors, the robot offers exceptional speed and maneuverability. The integrated ATmega32U4 microcontroller allows for direct programming via a USB connection, and the robot is preloaded with an Arduino-compatible bootloader. Users can easily program the robot using a software add-on available for the Arduino environment, supported by libraries and example sketches.
The robot's design includes several advanced features, such as two H-bridge motor drivers and a comprehensive inertial measurement unit comprising a 3-axis accelerometer, gyro, and magnetometer. It also includes five downward-facing reflectance sensors for line-following or edge-detection tasks, and bump sensors on the front for collision detection. The graphical OLED display, along with a buzzer and indicator LEDs, provides feedback and enhances user interaction.
For those interested in customization, the robot offers multiple expansion ports for accessing power rails, system controls, and I/O lines. The unique power system ensures the motors operate at a constant 8 V, maintaining consistent performance regardless of battery charge levels. This kit includes a spare gearbox, enhancing its durability and longevity.
Note: This version is challenging to control and can sustain damage from impacts, thus it is recommended for experienced users. It is advised to keep motor speeds below 50% to prevent damage.

A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A $100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
RobotShop Fulfilled Orders → submit a support ticket from your account under My Support Tickets.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
