Tamiya 71202 Microcomputer Robot Kit - STEM Learning Model  [71202]

Explore Coding with the Tamiya 71202 Microcomputer Robot Kit

The Tamiya 71202 Microcomputer Robot Kit delivers a clear introduction to robotics and programming for newcomers and hobbyists. This wheeled kit integrates a BBC micro:bit microcomputer, an ultrasonic sensor and a motor driver circuit to navigate simple obstacles.

Practical Features and Learning Value

The supplied program allows the robot to detect objects with its ultrasonic sensor and send commands to the motors to avoid collisions. The head and arms move during operation to make responses visible. For users wanting to experiment, the BBC micro:bit is programmable via the MakeCode editor to craft custom actions.

Expandability for More Projects

The kit can be extended by adding a second BBC micro:bit (sold separately) to provide remote control features and broaden project scope, useful for club sessions or pair builds.
