How to Shop or Learn More on the Tribotix Website

Updated

Tribotix is an Australian and New Zealand supplier of educational robots that also runs educational and engineering services alongside its online store. If you want to buy hardware, the fastest route is the store and Featured Products sections; if you want services, curriculum help, or custom engineering work, the Educational Services and Engineering Services pages are where you should go. The site also offers a newsletter signup for updates.

Shopping on Tribotix

The store is the starting point for buying robots and related products. Tribotix states it does not try to stock everything a typical STEM or Maker store carries — instead it says it "only sells the BEST" and then supports those products.

  • Featured Products — a curated section on the homepage highlighting best-selling products, useful if you are new and want a starting point rather than browsing a full catalogue.
  • Cart — the standard shopping cart for assembling an order before checkout.
  • Search and filters — the site provides search in title and content, plus post type selectors and category filters (including Events, Exhibit, News, STEM, and User Projects), so you can narrow results by content type or topic.

A practical way to use the site: start with Featured Products to see what Tribotix actively recommends, then use search or category filters if you already know the type of robot or component you need.

Support after purchase

Tribotix describes its support as the main thing that sets it apart. According to the site, it answers all technical requests within 24 hours and continues support until the question or issue is resolved. The stated goal is to avoid robots "sitting on shelves unused," so post-purchase technical help is part of what you are buying into, not a separate add-on.

Learning More About Educational Services

Beyond sales, Tribotix offers educational services aimed at schools and event organisers. The listed services are:

  • School visits — presentations covering recent developments in robotics and explaining how mathematics and science principles are used to build these robots.
  • Curriculum development assistance — help shaping robotics and coding content for teaching.
  • Guest presenting — appearing as guest presenters at robotics and coding events.
  • Robotics competitions — organising and arranging competitions that require teamwork and technical problem-solving.
  • Conceptual design for Bioloid Boot Camp — design work tied to that programme.

If you are a teacher, school, or event organiser, this is the section to check rather than the store.

Learning More About Engineering Services

Tribotix also takes on consultancy work and research and development projects. The skill sets it lists for its designers are:

Area What it covers
Custom robotics Design of robots and robot arms
Embedded systems PCB design, electronic design, embedded software/firmware
Wireless systems Design and integration including LoRa, ZigBee, Bluetooth and WiFi
System integration Industrial experience with PLCs, SCADA systems, and National Instruments software and hardware

For more detail on this side of the business, the site points visitors to its Capabilities page.

Staying Updated and Getting in Touch

  • Newsletter — the site offers a newsletter signup, which is the low-effort way to hear about new products, events, and services.
  • Contact — the excerpt references a customer testimonial from an edtech start-up that was introduced to Peter Turner at Tribotix, so if you need to reach a person directly, look for the contact details on the site rather than relying on the store pages alone.

One thing to note: the available site information does not list prices, payment methods, or whether an account is required to order. Check the store pages directly for current pricing and checkout requirements before planning a purchase.
