Product Overview

A multi-function programmable car kit that makes the BBC micro:bit a fun way to learn coding and robotics. Freenove provides a downloadable tutorial to guide learners from assembly to programming.

Key Features

Applications

Benefits

Learn by building

Assembling the robot teaches mechanics, wiring and how sensors connect to a controller.

Code you can see

Every program change shows up immediately in how the robot moves.

Guided from start to finish

Freenove’s tutorial covers assembly and the example code, so beginners are never stuck.

Compatibility

• BBC micro:bit
