National Cat Cup hardware division equipment kit
An Arduino equipment kit built for the hardware division of the National Cat Cup SCRATCH Competition: a genuine Arduino® Uno Rev3 with 27 kinds of items, 20 of which are Made-in-Taiwan (MIT) modules with Dupont pins built onto the circuit board.
Product overview
The first National Cat Cup SCRATCH Competition was held in 2014. It is open to elementary and middle school students, with an animation division, a game division, and a hardware division centered on Arduino open-source hardware. The National Cat Cup Hardware Division Equipment Kit was built by iCShop specifically for the hardware division.
- Uses a genuine Arduino® Uno Rev3 made in Italy and certified to FCC/CE standards, with the original clear protective case
- 27 kinds of items, covering the sensing and output components commonly used in the hardware division
- Includes 20 kinds of Made-in-Taiwan (MIT) modules with Dupont pins built directly onto the circuit board, which reduces damage during project building

Programming tools
You can program with graphical tools that work with the Cat Cup hardware division (such as WFduino and ArduBlock) or with the Arduino IDE. The permitted software versions are set by each year’s competition announcement.
Example code
CIRCUS Pi publishes Arduino example code for each module on GitHub, and every example includes wiring instructions: CIRCUSPi_module.
Also built for the Cat Cup hardware division is the Bit Teaching Kit Set (micro:bit).
Competition
National Cat Cup SCRATCH Competition (hardware division)
The competition is open to elementary and middle school students, and the hardware division centers on Arduino open-source hardware. This equipment kit was built by iCShop specifically for the hardware division.
