How to buy LeRobot 101 in Singapore the right way

Many people want to buy LeRobot 101 in Singapore, but most online listings are unclear. Some shops sell only the motors and controller. Others only sell the 3D printed parts. Many listings leave out the camera entirely. This creates confusion, and buyers often end up with incomplete kits. This guide explains everything you need to know before buying.

1. Know the four versions of LeRobot 101

Before you buy LeRobot Singapore, always confirm which version you are getting. Every seller offers something different.

Full Set (most recommended)

Includes:

  • motors
  • controller board
  • power cables
  • screws and hardware
  • all 3D printed parts
  • complete kit ready to build

Best for beginners and anyone who wants a complete experience without missing items.

Electronics Only (motors and controller)

Includes:

  • all motors
  • cables
  • controller board
  • hardware

Does not include the 3D printed parts.
Ideal for buyers who want to print their own parts at home.

3D Printed Parts Only

Includes:

  • the full set of printed parts
  • zero electronics

Good for makers who want to use their own motors and custom control boards.

Fully Assembled Version

Includes:

  • a fully built and tested LeRobot
  • ready to use out of the box

Perfect for schools, labs, and companies that want immediate operation.

2. Most stores do not include the camera

This is the biggest hidden issue when people try to buy LeRobot 101 online.

Most shops leave out the camera completely.
They sell the robot arm but not the vision hardware it depends on for AI tasks.

Without the camera, the robot can:

  • move
  • run scripts
  • run teleop manually

But it cannot:

  • run vision based AI
  • learn through demonstration
  • perform object based tasks
  • use VLA based control
  • track anything visually

We make this crystal clear in our Singapore shop.
Every listing shows if the camera is:

  • included
  • optional
  • or not included

This prevents surprises after delivery.


3. Which camera works with LeRobot 101

LeRobot 101 is flexible. It supports a range of cameras because the system expects standard USB video input.

Here are the common compatible options:

1. Logitech C920 or C922

  • The most commonly used
  • Plug and play
  • Good image quality
  • Works without special drivers
  • Affordable

This is the standard for most LeRobot users worldwide.

2. Any USB Webcam (1080p or better)

Most webcams that follow UVC standards work fine.
Examples:

  • Razer Kiyo
  • NexiGo webcams
  • Anker webcams

3. Raspberry Pi Camera (via Pi or USB adapters)

Used by makers and researchers who want modular setups.

4. Depth cameras (optional)

Not required, but useful for advanced users:

  • Intel RealSense
  • Luxonis OAK-D

LeRobot 101 does not require depth cameras to work.
A normal webcam is enough.

Our recommendation

Use a Logitech C920 if you want reliability, simplicity, and wide compatibility.
That is why we stock it in Singapore.
