Fantastic Customer Service

I recently encountered a problem with my Bittle X related to the failure of a fuse on the Biboard v2. I contacted customer service, and they responded very quickly, in fact in the middle of their night. I was asked to send a video of the robot behavior, and from that the board problem was quickly solved. I was then offered a new board free of charge, and it was shipped to my home in Rhode Island from California. After a total delay of only 4 days, I installed the new board and everything worked fine.
I cannot say enough good things about the fast, friendly and responsive technical customer service. The problem was correctly diagnosed within 24 hours and there was not a moments hesitation in offering a replacement board free.
I would not hesitate to endorse Petoi for their products and service

Next gen robot cat - improvement over the original

The Nybble Q is more stable than the original Nybble as the weight distribution seems to be better balanced and the servos appear to be more responsive. The walking gait is successful even on low pile area rugs. The 3D printed body is a more finished look, though the original wooden robot does look like a cool science experiment. The four touch sensors provide additional fun interactivity with the robot. The servos now have feedback for positioning. The BiBoard V1 is a great improvement over the Nyboard. There is more than sufficient memory to compile the full program, and with the independent serial ports, both the voice and ultrasonic are active. Using the app via Bluetooth can easily switch between ultrasonic and voice. I was so impressed with the NYbble Q that I upgraded the original Nybble with the BiBoard V1, and have both the older and newer cats using the same C++ code (with the Nybble Q having the advantage of better movement stability, servo feedback, and the back touch sensors). Overall a great upgrade for this robot cat. And support continues to be first rate and extremely responsive from the Petoi team.

So hard to build but very fun to build and fun to prank people

Frequently Asked Questions

Open all Close all
Where can I find the Nybble user manual and/or documentation?

Please visit our documentation for detailed assembly instructions, as well as configurations, sample codes, and info about available upgrades.

How old should Nybble users be when they get started?

Nybble is best-suited for users aged 14 and older. Younger users can enjoy building Nybble under adult supervision.

How long does it take to assemble Nybble?

On average, it takes four hours to assemble Nybble's frame. No soldering is required for the basic functionalities of Nybble. There are several moments when you need to be extremely careful to plug in the cords in the right order and direction.

How beginner-friendly is the process of setting up the software and playing with Nybble?

After assembling the pieces, you will need to learn some basic operations in Arduino IDE or use the Petoi mobile/desktop apps to configure. Then you can control Nybble with the included infrared remote or the Petoi mobile or desktop apps. Prior coding experience is required.

Does Petoi offer drag & drop coding support?

We offer the Scratch-like block-based programming tool Petoi Coding Blocks, the corresponding curriculum,  a video tutorial series to guide beginners to easily get started with robotics programming.

How long does the battery last?

Nybble has two versions. The current version V2 comes with a rechargable Li-Ion battery providing 70 minutes of playing time. The older Nybble V1 version doesn't come with a battery. Please check the recommeneded batteries for Nybble V1 that provide about 45 mins of playing time.

Can you tell me more about how your quadruped robots work with Arduino/Raspberry Pi and its supporting modules?

Please check the Integration & Expansion section in the FAQ.

Can you tell me more about the supporting software to control and program Nybble Q?
Can you tell me the differences between your quadruped robot dog and cat?
Does Nybble require a network connection to fuction?

No, Nybble doesn't need any network connection.

What can a robot cat do?

A real robot cat like Nybble can sit, stretch, sleep, balance, greet, and do pushups. You can also program Nybble to perform new actions and do new tricks.

What is NyBoard?

NyBoard is an Arduino compatible motion controller that Nybble runs on. An analogy is NyBoard is to a robot like a motherboard to a PC. You can use NyBoard for Arduno and IoT programming, and design whatever robotic animal or creature you like.

What's the relation of OpenCat and Nybble?

OpenCat is the open source quadruped robotic pet framework that Nybble runs on. Petoi founder Rongzhong Li built a robot cat prototype running on OpenCat and commercialized it to become Nybble.

How many joints and degrees of freedom does Nybble robot cat have?

Nybble is a four-legged robot cat with 2 joints on each leg, 2 joints on its head, and 1 joint on its tail, so a total of 11 joints. It means Nybble is a 11-degree-of-freedom(DOF) quadruped robot.
