TPBot Edu Programmable Car with micro:bit - ELECFREAKS

A smart coding car to teach early programming skills. Preset functions work out of the box, and it can be used as an educational aid with the included micro:bit board, coded using Microsoft MakeCode.

Pins on either side of the car body and the studs on the roof can be used to customise TPBot Edu visually and add functionality using LEGO bricks. A sticker sheet is also included, to really make your TPBot your own.

TPBot Edu has the same fantastic out-of-the-box usability as the basic TPBot, with a few upgrades, making it an excellent choice for advanced STEM learning and precision control:

• 6-Axis IMU – Precise steering and motion sensing.
• Encoder Motors – More accurate speed and distance control.
• Built-in Lithium Battery – 2–4 hours of continuous use.
• RJ11 Expansion Ports – Easily connect more modules.
• Ultrasonic & 4-Way Line Tracking – Advanced obstacle avoidance and line following.

Get started right away with step-by-step tutorials and project guides available on the ELECFREAKS Wiki. Follow easy instructions to programme some basic functions, and then apply those skills to your own creative projects.

The BBC micro:bit is an award-winning microcontroller developed for children aged 8+, used by millions of students worldwide. With built-in sensors and the ability to connect to a wide range of components, it brings code into the real world—making learning to program both educational and fun.

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.
