DESCRIPTION:

• Version 1.3 of this popular kit now uses a removable ultrasonic sensor, that uses the same connector as used on the Minibit and BitBot XL. This allows the use of alternative add-ons, sich as the new BitFace, 5x5 FireLed Matrix and OLED.
  • The Robobit Makecode package supports all versions of the Robobit Buggy
  • This little buggy can be assembled very quickly using only a screwdriver. No soldering is required
  • NB. BBC Micro: Bit is NOT included.
  Mk3 changes from Mk2:
  • Integrated line following sensors
  • Integrated ultrasonic distance sensor with the new connector
  • Integrated pen holder mounted at the axis of rotation
  • Integrated 8-element FireLed bar with “auto scanner” software support
  • Motors fitted on top to make it more compact
  • Screwdriver and wrench tools included
  Contents:
  • Robo:Bit Mk3 robotics controller PCB
  • Battery holder PCB
  • Fixings pack (motor mounts, screws, mounting pillars, caster, etc.)
  • 2 x Yellow Wheels with Tyres
  • 2 x Motors with pre-fitted connection wires (no soldering required)
  • Screwdriver and wrench

Using this great kit you can learn about:

• Controlling motors with simple Forward / Reverse controls
• Controlling the speed of motors in both directions using PWM
• Use a second BBC micro: bit with the easy-to-use radio software to control the buggy
• Use the motion sensor on the micro: bit to detect collision with obstacles and avoid them
• Detect when obstacles get close and change the program to avoid the obstacles
• "Follow-Me" program that tries to stay a certain distance from the object in front
• Use the 2 line sensors on either side of the non-reflective line to detect the line and keep the buggy on track
• Write more complex programs that behave as required if you meet a T-Junction or crossing of lines
• Compare different line following strategies - create a race track and see which strategy is the fastest
• In combination with the distance sensor, make it avoid obstacles on the track and then re-acquire the line
