The Botshop Platform

One brain, infinite bodies. Here's what we're building, and when you can get your hands on it.

Everything we make starts with the ESP32-P4 AI Vision Board. The platform is our promise: one accredited brain, a growing family of snap-on bodies, and all the knowledge, MCP servers, and Rebel Glitch training you need to turn a beginner into a predictive AI creator. This roadmap is alive – watch it evolve.

The ESP32-P4 AI Vision Board is designed and built by our partner DFRobot — a detailed, complex board that demands serious manufacturing depth. We trust them completely. We've tested and played with many boards; for accreditation, general use, and cost, theirs remains the absolute best in our research.

The roadmap

    The Brain

    ESP32-P4 AI Vision Board

    It all starts here. One board with predictive AI, vision, sound, and the raw horsepower to become anything. DFRobot designed and manufactures it — a complex board that demands serious manufacturing depth, and we trust them fully. After testing many alternatives, it remains our pick for accreditation, general use, and cost. We don't just sell it – we teach it. Rebel Glitch runs the courses, webinars, and AI coding skills that make the P4 sing. MCP server "Bottie" is your built-in AI assistant, ready to answer questions straight out of the box.

  2. Early September

    Base Motor Driver Board

    The quick-win enabler. A drop-in board with onboard amplifier and motor drivers. Plug in your P4, connect a 4WD Omniwheel chassis, and you have a fully programmable robot in minutes – no soldering, no headache. This is the fastest way to get a P4-powered bot rolling, and it lets us ship real product while the prettier bodies follow.

  3. November

    Coming Soon

    Intelligent Robot Chassis

    Not just a chassis. This is the GoGoBot Advanced, reimagined. Vision, speakers, predictive AI. The first all-in-one P4-native robot that sees, listens, and drives like it already knows the route. Perfect for serious education and serious fun.

  4. December

    Coming Soon
    TuneBox Wi-Fi streaming jukebox on a glowing tech platform with voice and playlist features

    TuneBox

    Perfect Christmas gift

    Wi-Fi streaming jukebox that pulls from Google Play (and more), runs playlists, and understands voice commands — tell it what to play next. The P4's musical alter ego, and we don't stop at the box: well-tested, high-quality speakers are part of the plan. A ridiculously cool Christmas present for the person who has everything – including a P4.

  5. February next year

    Coming Soon
    Botshop robot arm add-on on a glowing tech platform with reach and grip features

    Robot Arm Add-On

    The P4 learns to reach, lift, and manipulate. Snap on this arm and give it a job – sorting, stacking, or simply waving hello to the future. Industrial-grade educational fun.

What else would you like us to build?

Maybe some IoT devices, home automation — how about an AI security system?

Knowledge and MCP integration

The Knowledge Layer

Every phase of the platform is backed by Rebel Glitch – live webinars, predictive AI training, Python mastery, and generative AI coding skills. Buy a Botshop product, and the learning never stops.

MCP Servers & "Bottie"

Our MCP server, Bottie, is the world's first in-kit AI tutor. It lives in the P4 and helps you build, debug, and dream. Because "knowledge out-of-the-box" isn't a slogan – it's code.
