## 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.

### 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.
