4tronix Robo:Bit MK3 Buggy for BBC micro:bit

The MK3 is the latest iteration of the Robo:Bit buggy. Technically similar to its sibling, the MK3 includes as standard the sensors and accessories that were optional with the MK2.

The Robo:Bit buggy can be assembled very quickly using only a screwdriver. No soldering is required making it a great beginners kit and the chunky wheels and powerful motors mean it works well on any surface.

You can learn about controlling motors and use the accelerometers or compass on the micro:bit to aid navigation and collision detection. You can also make a very cool remote control robot by using another micro:bit and the radio function.

Includes, along with the buggy, the line following sensor, ultrasonic distance sensor, integrated pen holder, and the LED light bar.

Connections are provided for lots of the BBC micro:bit pins, and all have immediate 3-pin access to power (3.3V) and ground. There are three separate pins for 5V if you need the extra voltage (but don't feed back 5V to the micro:bit as it won't like it!). This is the GVS (Ground, Volts, Signal) system for sensors and servos etc.
