Micro: Maqueen micro:bit Robot Platform

Hello, my name is Maqueen, is a graphical programming robot for STEM education, which inherits playability and simple operation of micro:bit. The Mini-body, interesting features and plug-and-play allow children to quickly learn graphic programming in entertaining, nurturing children's interest in science and logical thinking.

IMPORTANT: You will need a micro:bit board to use this product. It is not included in the kit. You will need to buy it separately.

Maqueen is accessible to Mind+ Programming platform now. Mind+ is a Scratch 3.0 based graphical programming platform from DFRobot, supporting Python, Arduino and other programming platforms. At present, Mind+ has been applied to all kinds of sensors, modules and related education products.

Micro:Maqueen Product Contents:

Maqueen & Mind+:

Maqueen is accessible to Mind+ Programming platform now. Mind+ is a Scratch 3.0 based graphical programming platform from DFRobot, supporting Python, Arduino and other programming platforms. At present, Mind+ has been applied to all kinds of sensors, modules and related education products.

New Gravity Extension Interfaces More Ways to Play

New 3P extension interfaces, lead out P1, P2 and I2C interfaces. Pin header and female header connections, more ways to play.

Direct Plug-in Ultrasonic and I2C Interfaces Firm and Solid:

Female and male connections for ultrasonic and I2C interfaces respectively, prevent from misconnecting. Direct plug-in interfaces, firm and solid

Li-Ion Battery Holder:

The newly launched Li-Ion battery holder by DFRobot can be used to hold a CR123A 3.6V lithium rechargeable battery, and to provide more than 8 hours of continuous power for Maqueen in full-power state. In this way, 5000 batteries can be saved in one year on 10 Maqueen robots. CR123A high quality battery and strict quality testing assured the safety and reliability of the products.

Easy Setup in 3 Steps:

Maqueen can be setup in 3 easy steps: install the wheels, fix the battery case to the base and insert your micro:bit board into the slot provided.

Play and Learn:

Maqueen is a perfect toy for kids to start learning robotics. They could almost set Maqueen to do anything by converting their thoughts into programs. Moreover, to add even more possibilities to Maqueen, we have added more sensor that support sound, light, object, or even wireless signal interaction.
