This paper discusses the feasibility of using mobile robots to motivate students in non-robotic courses. We propose that robots can be a catalyst for students' engagement in non-robotic related courses. In this way, the paper describes the experience of using robots for elective practical assignments in a Computer Architecture course of the Computer Engineering program at the Universidad de León (Spain). The paper also analyzes the hardware alternatives, providing as additional contribution a table for choosing the more suitable robotic platform for different teaching needs based of several criteria.
