## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=CE07295:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE07295:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

Inspire deep and joyful learning with the micro:bit-powered Hummingbird Bit Robotics Kit! The Hummingbird Robotics Kit is comprised of lights, sensors, and motors which allow students to build a robot out of any materials. The power of Hummingbird is in its flexibility - the same reusable kit can [animate a poem](https://www.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdduo/teach/project/robot-theater-where-poetry-comes-to-life/), [model the human arm](https://www.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdduo/teach/project/modeling-joints-with-robotics/), [build an autonomous rover](https://www.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/build/rover/1-1), or [create a pinball machine](https://www.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdduo/teach/project/physics-of-pinball/). Hummingbird epitomizes a low-floor, high-ceiling approach: absolute beginners can build & program a robot in minutes, but continue learning advanced engineering & programming for years.

Please note that the Hummingbird Bit uses [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-by-bbc.html) as its processor; you must have one in order to operate the robot (sold seperatly).

Purchase this product as an upgrade to a Hummingbird Robotics Kit you already own. The [micro:bit](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-bit-by-bbc.html) and micro USB cable required to power the controller are not included.

If you don't already own a Hummingbird Robotics Kit, check out the [Hummingbird Bit Base Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/hummingbird-bit-base-kit.html).
