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/CE10398:1.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 A rugged, all-terrain STEM robot that bridges the gap between mechanical engineering, electronics and programming. This isn't just a robot; it’s a mechatronic companion with an on-screen personality, designed to make complex concepts feel approachable, interactive, and inspiring for the next generation of Makers. The "brain" of the bot is the **CyberPi**, which integrates a suite of internal and external sensors to breathe life into your creations. From high-precision ultrasonic sensors that sense surroundings to an arrayed RGB sensor for advanced line following, the mBot2 Rover interacts with its environment in real-time. Whether it's detecting light levels, avoiding obstacles, or providing actuator feedback. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-outdoor-use.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE10398-outdoor-terrain-climbing.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE10398-all-terrain-configurations.jpg) Break free from the constraints of the classroom floor. Equipped with a **dual rugged track system** and **independent metal shock absorbers**, the mBot2 Rover is built for the outdoors. It effortlessly traverses grass, gravel, and rocky terrain while scaling inclines of up to 40 degrees. By moving the lab outdoors, the Rover transforms any backyard or playground into a testing ground for real-world robotics. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-robot-construction-options.jpg) **Built for versatility** The mBot2 Rover features a modular 3-in-1 design. Using the precision-engineered mechanical parts and intuitive guides, makers can assemble three distinct configurations: the **Rover, the Robot Arm, and the Carrier -** before diving into custom builds. This hands-on assembly process provides a foundational understanding of structural design. ### Technical Specifications | **Main controller** | CyberPi (ESP32-based) with 1.44 inch full-colour screen | |---|---| | **CPU** | Xtensa 32-bit LX6 dual-core 240 MHz | | **Locomotion** | Tracked drive with independent metal shock absorbers | | **Drive motors** | High-precision encoders, 1-207 RPM | | **Sensors (included)** | Quad RGB sensor, Ultrasonic Sensor, light sensor, microphone, 6-axis gyro/accelerometer | | **Connectivity** | Bluetooth 5.0, 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi, USB Type-C | | **Expansion** | mBuild modular system supports 10+ modules in series; 4x 3-pin servo interfaces; 2x 2-pin motor interfaces | | **Battery** | Built-in 2500 mAh rechargeable Li-ion, approx 3-5 hours of use | | **Chassis compatibility** | 500+ Makeblock mechanical parts | | **Display and HRI** | 1.44-inch screen shows expressive animations and custom emojis for EMO personality | | **Terrain capability** | Outdoor-ready; climbs up to 40-degree slopes, and works across different surfaces | **Compatibility** ### Additional Resources - [Makeblock Help Center - mBot2 Rover Overview](https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/articles/24408061898903-What-is-mBot2-Rover) - [Makeblock Beginner's Guide to mBot2](https://support.makeblock.com/hc/en-us/articles/12966349331991-A-Beginner-s-Guide-to-mBot-Neo-mBot2) - [Makeblock Education Resource Center](https://education.makeblock.com/resource/) ### What’s Included - [Makeblock mBot2 Starter Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/makeblock-mbot2-coding-robot-starter-kit-for-steam-learning.html) - Makeblock mBot2 - Rover Addon Kit ### mBot2 Starter Kit Contents ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-included-parts-mbot-pack_1200-1.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-included-parts-mbot-pack_1200-2.jpg) ### Rover Addon Pack Contents ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-included-parts-rover-bundle_1200-1.jpg) ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product-pages/CE09458-included-parts-rover-bundle_1200-2.jpg) ![Makeblock mBot2 - Rover Robotics Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/aw_rbslider/slides/CE10398-Makeblock-mBot2-Rover-Robotics-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/ce09458-showcase-robot-assembled.jpg)
