TPBot Programmable Car for micro:bit - ELECFREAKS

TPBot is a smart coding car for micro:bit. Preset functions work out of the box, and it can be used as an educational aid when you add a micro:bit board (not included) and code it using Microsoft MakeCode.

Pins on either side of the car body and the studs on the roof can be used to customise TPBot visually and add functionality using LEGO bricks.

micro:bit can be programmed using MakeCode, Microsoft's visual, block-based coding platform. As they build confidence, children can choose to build projects using the text-based programming language, Python. The BBC micro:bit also works with Scratch, Code.organd a wide range of other tools/editors.
