The Makeblock mBot is the perfect way to introduce robotics and programming to young makers. Not only can the mBot be assembled using the step-by-step instructions and pre-written code, but it encourages modification and expansion with the rest of the Makeblock kits and add-ons. With the introduction of STEM and STEAM-based curriculum in schools, mBot provides a hands-on experience with robotics.
Batteries aren't included with the mBot, pick up one of these rechargeable batteries for a perfect fit with your mBot and it's inbuilt charger.
mBot is easy to program via Scratch 2.0, Javascript, or C++ via the Arduino IDE. You can connect it to your computer via USB or the 2.4G wireless adapter. This makes it the perfect coding platform to learn skills which are used in schools and industries around the world.
This is the 2.4G wireless version, there's also a Bluetooth model which is easier for connecting to iPads, Chromebooks, and other mobile devices used in schools.
If you're trying to figure out the difference between Bluetooth version and 2.4G version, or your smart device cannot connect to mBot, please check the version of your mBot first. Here is comparison chart:
