More than just a programmable buggy, learning to use all of the included features will give the budding roboteer a solid grounding in robotics as a whole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLearn about movement, how to utilise light and sound, obstacle detection and avoidance, and how to code :MOVE Motor to follow a line. When used in conjunction with the micro:bit's radio features, the possibilities are endless.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAttached to the chassis are two bi-directional DC motors with variable speed control. The wheels have rubber tyres and are a simple push-fit onto the motor shafts. Slot a BBC micro:bit into the edge connector and you are ready to code. There is no other assembly required and no tools required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are built-in battery holders for 4xAA batteries (not included). This provides a regulated voltage supply to power the BBC micro:bit which is fed into the edge connector. There is also a power switch to conserve batteries when the buggy is not in use.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe micro:bit slots into the onboard edge connector. Code the micro:bit, plug it into the buggy, switch the power on, and then play.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e:MOVE Motor can be coded using the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eMicrosoft MakeCode editor. Kitronik has produced a set of custom MakeCode blocks to simplify coding the completed buggy. The booklet that comes with the buggy contains more detailed instructions on using the blocks and writing code. If you are feeling more adventurous or relish a challenge, :MOVE Motor can also be coded with\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003ePython. We have also produced some example Python code which you will find at the foot of the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso within the booklet (that comes inside the box), are some quick tutorials to get you started.
