Khepera III Overview
Khepera III with KoreBot II Option
A KoreBot II can be integrated inside the Khepera III (see the Configuration page). The robot base is specificaly designed to embed such extension as displayed bellow. More extensions can be fitted on top of the robot, when a KoreBot II is plugged and the top cover plate is removed. When you purchase a KheperaIII and a KoreBot II, the KoreBot II will be automatically mounted in the Robot.
