ROS for Beginners Learning Path - is building the RIABot mandatory?

Just curious if the Create Your First Robot with ROS course is necessary for the ROS beginners exam (or more precisely - if building the RIABot is necessary). I’ve already built a GoPiGo3 with lidar and a camera - I’m guessing I can do some of the exercises with this robot with some work, but I would prefer not to get distracted (and would prefer not to have to buy another entry robot - I’d rather my next purchase be one of the NVIDIA ones). So if I just work on the simulations, will I be able to take the quiz? I’m guessing so since that’s the testing environment.

Thanks,
/K

Hi Keith,

Thanks for asking! No, building the RIABot is optional; you can work with the simulations to complete the course and its quiz.

Thanks - I had assumed that, but good to know for sure.
