TAMIYA 71201 Microcomputer Robot, Crawler Type

Programmable robot equipped with "BBC micro:bit" board The teaching kit is the perfect introduction to the world of "STEM" subjects. Mint stands for mathematics, computer science, science and technology. In English-speaking countries one speaks of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math). The caterpillar robot kit connects exactly these areas, from assembly to operation to the own programming of the control. The robot with the microcomputer learning board "BBC micro:bit" is equipped with an ultrasonic sensor and a double motor control. If an obstacle is detected by the ultrasonic sensor, the "BBC micro:bit" unit receives this information and controls the two motors in the double gear accordingly. An already installed basic driving program runs automatically and the robot avoids the obstacle. The two chain drives are controlled separately from each other. A crank-shaped sprocket in contact with the chain moves the left and right arms up and down while driving, creating a typical robot behavior. The upper part of the robot consists of a light grey and clear body panel, so you can see the LEDs of the "BBC micro:bit" unit. The LEDs indicate which program has been selected before starting. The crawler chassis and the chassis trim are made of sturdy plastic. Using the illustrated and multilingual instructions, the microcomputer robot can be easily assembled and put into operation. With the freeware "MakeCode", the robot brain, the "BBC micro:bit" unit, can be programmed according to your own ideas, hereinafter the web link. (https://makecode.microbit.org/#). 2 x AA/Mignon/LR6 batteries are required for operation. For programming, an Internet-enabled PC and a data cable from USB to Micro USB are required. The following tools are required for assembly: side cutters, model building knife, screwdriver (+/Phillips) medium and screwdriver (+/Phillips) large.
