# Micro: Maqueen micro:bit Robot Platform

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ROB0148 · **Brand:** [DFRobot](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/dfrobot-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-maqueen-micro-bit-robot-platform.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/micro-maqueen-micro-bit-robot-platform.html.md))

Hello, my name is Maqueen, I'm a graphical programming robot for STEM education, which inherits playability and simple operation of micro:bit.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $64.95 (inc GST) — $59.05 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 6+ $56.09 (exc GST) · 12+ $53.73 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 26 and Aug 31.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ROB0148:1` (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/ROB0148:1.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
