Makeblock mBot V1.1-Blue 2.4G Version

Makeblock mBot V1.1-Blue 2.4G Version

Makeblock is a leading DIY robotics construction and programming learning platform for makers, STEM learners, educators and hobbyists. Makeblock provides over 500 mechanical parts and easy-to-use electronic modules, as well as graphical programming software, empowering people to turn their ideas into reality.

What is the mBot?
mBot is an all-in-one solution to enjoy the hands-on experience of programming, electronics, and robotics. Working with mBlock inspired by Scratch 2.0, connecting with computers or smart devices via 2.4G, this easy-to-assemble mBot provides infinite possibilities for you to learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).

What's New? Children Safeguard
Compared to the previous verison, mBot V1.1 comes with a casing specially designed for protecting main control board. Meanwhile, the casing is atomized to safeguard children's eyes from the glare of the onboard LED.

What's New? Better Auxiliary Wheel
The ball omni-directional wheel of previous version is replaced by a mini nylon caster wheel that performs better when moving to any direction and dramatically reduces the little clack sound caused by a steel ball.

Contracted But Not Simple. Easy to Assemble
Instead of messy, complicated breadboards and wires MakeBlock have ingeniously replaced standard wiring systems with colour coded RJ25 ports that makes wiring quick, easy and intuitive enough even for the youngest budding engineer. Contains 38 assembly parts that can be assembled in 10 minutes and color-labeled RJ25 ports for convenient wiring, making sure more time can be spent on programming and creativity.

Graphical Programming
Drag-and-drop graphical programming software mBlock developed based on Scratch 2.0 provides a quick way to learn programming, control the robot, and realize multiple functions from the robot.

Features of mBlock:

• Scratch 2.0.
• Arduino.
• Open Source.
• Easy Work.
• Fun, and Fun.

mBot is all about fun and creativity. It comes with various basic pre-assembled options, including obstacle-avoidance car, line-following vehicle, remote control car, and can be used in multiple games like balloon bursting game, soccer playing, sumo, and etc.

Infinite Extensibility
The mechanical body of the mBot is compatible with Makeblock platform and most of Lego parts, while the electronic parts of it is developed based on the Arduino open source ecosystem. This makes sure that the mBot has infinite extensibility, using any mechanical parts and electronic modules you need to turn it into your 'dream robot'.

Unique Curriculum System
To help teachers, parents, or children get started easier and faster, you will also find that we provide online manuals and two online courses that will be updated regularly. These online tutorials are developed and maintained by teachers, especially scratch teachers, at home and abroad. Know more here.

The mBot V1.1 - STEM Educational Robot Kit comes with 1 PC IR remote control as a gift. The default program of mBot has been optimised regarding this change. Users can check whether mBot is functioning using the onboard button.

Requires 2 x AA batteries (not included).
