<div dir="ltr"><div style>*Sorry if you receive multiple of this email*</div><br>Hello Everyone,<br><br>We are pleased to announce to the academic community Sparki, the latest low-cost open-source robotics platform from ArcBotics. We have been working hard for the last year to develop an answer to low cost, simple, yet feature-complete robotics education for all ages. Though Sparki is easy to use for the beginner, it also provides an enticing, customizable and open platform to advanced researchers and users since it has features compelling of robots 10x the price.<br>

<br></div><div>Through Sparki, we hope to ignite a revolution in educational and research robotics, making fields such as programming, electronics, and robotics easier to enter for anyone through hands-on learning, while giving the research community what its needs to succeed in areas such as swarm robotics, HRI and more.<br>
<br>We would appreciate any help you could provide in advancing educational robotics by spreading the word about or even backing Sparki. We are also interested in research/educational partnerships to further develop our curriculum and enhance our designs, which are available here:</div>
