4TRONIX Robo:Bit Mk3 Buggy for micro:bit

Build your own intelligent robot with the 4TRONIX Robo:Bit Mk3 Buggy, an easy-to-assemble DIY project for the micro:bit. This updated design brings significant improvements over previous versions, including additional integrated sensors, a stylish LED bar, and a redesigned motor arrangement that reduces the overall size for greater agility.

The buggy is equipped with an integrated line-following sensor, a distance sensor, a pen holder, and an 8-LED neopixel-compatible bar with 'auto scanner' software support. Using the free Robobit Makecode package, you can program it with all versions of Robo:bit, learning to control motor direction and speed via PWM. Combine the micro:bit's motion sensor with the other sensors to explore different line-following strategies, or use a second micro:bit as a wireless remote control with simple radio software.

No soldering is required – the kit includes a screwdriver and spanner, making it ideal for beginners and classrooms. Contents include the Robo:bit PCB, battery holder PCB, two motors with pre-fitted wires, two wheels, and a fixings pack. Please note that the micro:bit and batteries are not included. With its compact dimensions and enhanced features, this buggy is the perfect platform for learning robotics, coding, and engineering.
