ELECFREAKS micro:bit TPBot Car Kit

£40.00

Innovative Design
Curriculum Aligned

Build, code, and drive — the ELECFREAKS TPBot is a ready-to-go smart coding car for micro:bit, no assembly required. Plug in a micro:bit (sold separately) to programme the car via MakeCode block coding or Python — controlling movement, customising the RGB LED eye patch, and connecting sensors through the expansion port.

Without a micro:bit it runs pre-set line-following and obstacle-avoidance modes straight out of the box. LEGO-compatible bumps and lock-joints let children personalise the design and build on top. Includes access to 10 free online courses. IDEA Design Bronze Award winner.

Key features:

Programmable via MakeCode block coding or Python
Pre-set modes (line following, obstacle avoidance) work without micro:bit
RGB LED eye patch customisable through code
LEGO-compatible with RJ11 and servo expansion ports
10 free online courses included

Suitable for children aged 8 years and up
