# MiniQ 2WD Complete Kit (Based on Arduino)

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** ROB0081 · **Brand:** [DFRobot](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/dfrobot-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/miniq-2wd-complete-kit-based-on-arduino.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/miniq-2wd-complete-kit-based-on-arduino.html.md))

2WD MiniQ mobile robot is especially designed for learning purpose like 4WD MiniQ mobile robot. It also comes fully assembled and all your need is a PC with Arduino IDE and 4xAA battery.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $71.47 (inc GST) — $64.97 AUD, exc GST

## Availability & dispatch

- In stock, ships same business day if ordered before 2PM (Australia/Sydney).
- We can dispatch 2 today; more stock is typically available with a 10–16 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ROB0081:1` (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/ROB0081:1.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)

## Description

Introduction

 2WD MiniQ mobile robot is especially designed for learning purpose like 4WD MiniQ mobile robot. It also comes fully assembled and all your need is a PC with Arduino IDE and 4xAA battery. It is powered by most popular Atmega328P which is fully compatible with Arduino. The 2WD MiniQ has two wheels build-in encoders. So you could easily to control the speed of the robot. 2 infrared sensors make it possible for you to build a line tracing robot. 2 infrared transmitters and 1 infrared receiver can help you to finish simple obstacle avoidance and the IR remote control. 1 buzzer could let the robot sing some funny songs when running. Compared with the 4WD MiniQ, we improve the communication function on the 2WD MiniQ platform by increasing a Xbee slot. Make it possible for you to achieve a wireless communication or wireless programming for your robot. To perform wireless progrmming, you will need a pair of our [WPM](https://core-electronics.com.au/wireless-programming-module-for-arduino.html) modules. And on the robot side,directly plug the WPM module in the Xbee socket on the 2WD MiniQ platform. The other one could be connected to the computer via a [Xbee USB adapter](https://core-electronics.com.au/xbee-usb-adapter.html) or [Xbee USB adapter v2](https://core-electronics.com.au/xbee-usb-adapter-v2.html) easily. Then you could program your robot as regular Arduino processor wireless. Applications - line tracing robot
