CODING AND ROBOTICSMBOT, RANGER AND ULTIMATE BY MAKEBLOCK

Easy to build with included assembly guide. o Clear visual instructions and a user-friendly design makes assembling mBot so easy that all you need

to build mBot is a small screwdriver. Each electronic module is color-coded according to its matching connector on the mainboard, so that all you have to do to attach them is match like colors.

3 pre-set control modes make mBot smart o mBot has 3 pre-set control modes: Obstacle avoidance mode, Line-follow mode, and Manual control

mode. When used, these modes let children turn more complex ideas into reality with mBot. Block-based programming

o Makeblock’s block-based programming software enables beginners to simply drag and drop command blocks to program their mBot without need for coding experience. Children can not only use the preset controls for their robot, but write code for their robot and see it instantly respond to their instructions.

More fun with expansion packso mBot comes equipped with 4 connection interfaces and 7 electronic modules and, together with add-

on packs and their own code, let children turn their robot into a dancing cat, a smart lamp, and other creative projects. mBot is also compatible with LEGO® blocks for even extensibility.
