iRobot Create 2 Scratch Plugin
With Scratch, a fun visual programming language and Create 2, kids of all ages can program a physical robot! Snap blocks together and watch your robot execute your commands.
Make your own Roombot
This project is an easy entry point into experimenting with robotics for people without a background in electronics. Building a roombot requires no soldering and no programming cables or low-level languages. After setting up your roombot you can write code to connect to and control the roombot.
DJ Create
So you want to impress your friends with a roaming, robotic DJ at your next party...here’s how to do it.

How about a cool alarm clock, or a sentry security camera? Well this project does just that.
Lightpainting
Use the lightpainting tutorial to create LED images viewable with long exposure photography.
Ben Heck Show - Dart Collector
The folks at Back Flip Films need help cleaning up after their weekly Nerf wars. To assist with this Ben will set out on a three part journey to build a Create that can collect Nerf darts and bring them back to home base.
Create 2 Path Finder
This is a demonstration of the Roomba Path Walker. The project is intended to demonstrate robot programming. Robots are not "smart", they simply following instructions.
Python API for the Create 2
This simple Python API is ideal for beginning Python students.
TeleRoomba with VR Headset
Buying a telepresence robot is usually pretty expensive, and all you can do is drive a video chat on a moving platform. I believe that an ideal telepresence experience should be much more imersive!
Tethered Driving
Connect your computer to Create 2 and control the robot’s every move.
Python Tethered Driving
Connect to your computer and control the robot using Python.
Create 2 Drive and Stream
In this tutorial, learn how to use the iRobot Create 2 to drive around and stream video over the wireless network.
