About the Item
This assembly kit creates a crawler robot that runs using a BBC micro: bit microcomputer, ultrasonic sensor and motor driver circuit.
Length: 136mm Width: 128mm Height: 116mm
The robot is an assembly kit model, with a design based upon Tamiya popular Cam-Program Robot (Item T70227). Please note that this robot does not run on cams, and they are not included.
When the ultrasonic sensor identifies an obstacle ahead, it transmits that information to the BBC micro: bit, which uses a pre-installed program to give the motors commands to avoid the obstacle.
A program will be available on the Tamiya homepage allowing the programming of a separately sold BBC micro: bit as a remote controller.
BBC micro: bits can also be coded with original programs via your computer.
Requires two R6/AA/UM3 batteries
