Fossbot Platform

General Information

The FOSSBot Platform is a open-source project combining a DIY educational robot with an open source online simulation environment made in Godot. Key features include an interactive online coding environment, even without the physical robot. The platform supports both a custom block-based visual editor and a Python IDE, utilizing modern technologies like PostgreSQL, Docker, React, and FastAPI for a seamless experience. It's designed to be lightweight and user-friendly, suitable for schools with limited internet resources. Future updates will introduce collaborative features and compatibility with devices like Arduino and MicroPython-enabled microcontrollers.

• React Front-end
• Python Back-end using FastAPI
