TAMIYA Microcomputer Robot Kit Wheeled Type - BBC Micro:bit Programming Robot With Ultrasonic Sensor

About This Product

Future engineers and coding enthusiasts, this TAMIYA robot kit is seriously cool for learning programming and robotics! This wheeled type robot comes with a BBC micro:bit computer that controls everything - it's like having a tiny brain for your robot. The kit measures about 185mm long, 138mm wide, and 162mm high when built, and it includes Type 130 motors that make it move. What's really awesome is the ultrasonic sensor that lets the robot detect obstacles ahead and automatically avoid them using the pre-installed program. The arms and head even move while it's rolling around! You can program it using free online coding software that's compatible with visual programming (you'll need a computer, internet connection, and micro USB cable). There's even an option to use another BBC micro:bit (sold separately) as a remote control for more functions. Tamiya's website has extensive resources and advice for using the micro:bit, making this perfect for STEM education in classrooms or at home. It requires two AA batteries (sold separately) to power up. Whether you're a teacher looking for engaging STEM materials, a parent wanting to introduce your child to coding, or just someone who loves building and programming robots, this kit provides hours of educational fun. The quality you expect from Tamiya is all here - precise parts, clear instructions, and that satisfaction of building something that actually moves and responds to its environment. It's one of those kits that makes learning about technology and programming actually exciting and hands-on!
