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/CE10397:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description **Empower the next generation of makers with the mBot2, an all-in-one robotics platform built for exploring robotics and mechatronic engineering, AI on the edge, and IoT.** The mBot2 combines the easy-to-use construction system Makeblock is known for with the CyberPi controller, precision encoder motors and some basic sensors (external and inbuilt). Use the starter kit as a base for further expansion packs, so you can delve deeper into areas that interest you! Start with block coding in mBlock 5 and progress to Python, while exploring sensing, networking and closed-loop motion. The hardware allows for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and optical encoder feedback, with the software allowing these to be used for any need you have. *We also stock [the mBot2 Rover Kit ](https://core-electronics.com.au/makeblock-mbot2-rover-robotics-kit-for-education-learning.html)- which includes more actuators and mechanical components - if youre getting started its worth a [look](https://core-electronics.com.au/makeblock-mbot2-rover-robotics-kit-for-education-learning.html).* *Add machine vision to your robot with [the AI Camera 2.0](https://core-electronics.com.au/xtool-ai-camera-2-0-all-in-one-machine-vision-for-education.html) - which includes 9 different sensing models to figure out the environment.* ### All You Need To Get Started With Robotics Is Included - The hardware, electronics and actuators to make your Robot - Tutorials to: - Construct the robot - Learn programming and apply that knowledge to a physical system - Guide you through common mechatronic scenarios - And next steps for your own projects! And it doesn't end there! You can use the CyberPi to do plenty of other electronic projects through the mBuild modules. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE10397-examples-and-features-800x600.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE10397-software-and-apps_800x600.jpg) ### Programming Progression - At Your Own Pace For beginner programmers, block-based visual programming clearly demonstrates the logical flow of how a program is run and interpretted by the computer. With more understanding pathways are available to progress into text-based languages like Python coding- each step has rich libraries and integration with the hardware. ### Technical Specifications - **Main control board:** CyberPi with ESP32-WROVER-B and display - **Communication:** Bluetooth, Wi-Fi - **Inputs and sensors:** - Ultrasonic Sensor 2 with integrated LEDs - Quad RGB sensor for line following and colour detection - Built-in gyroscope and accelerometer - Built-in microphone and light sensor - **Outputs:** 1.44-inch full-colour screen, speaker and RGB LEDs - **Motors:** 2 x optical encoder motors, 200 RPM, 1.5 kg-cm torque, 1 degree between pulses - **Battery:** Built-in 2500 mAh rechargeable Li-ion battery via mBot2 Shield - **Chassis:** Anodised aluminium alloy - **Expansion:** Compatible with mBuild modules and standard Makeblock structural parts; CyberPi can be detached for standalone use - **Software:** mBlock 5 (PC, web and mobile), Python 3 and MicroPython ### Additional Resources - [Getting Started Guide ](https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/articles/12966349331991-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-mBot-Neo-mBot2) ![Makeblock mBot2 - Starter Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/aw_rbslider/slides/CE10397-Makeblock-mBot2-Starter-Kit.jpg) ## Guides for this product - [mBot2 & Rover Kit: A Hands-On Overview](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/robotics/mbot2-and-rover-kit-a-hands-on-overview/) - [An Introduction to Makeblock](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/robotics/introduction-to-makeblock/) ## Videos for this product - [Makeblock mBot2 Rover Overview](https://core-electronics.com.au/videos/makeblock-mbot2-rover-overview) ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/c/e/ce10397-showcase.jpg)
