Maqueen Lite V5 STEM Robot — Classrooms, Meet Your New Favourite Sidekick!
Sick of robots rolling off course or throwing a tantrum mid-lesson? The Maqueen Lite V5 is here to save the day — built tough for teachers, smooth enough for young coders, and clever enough to keep up with your wildest STEM experiments! Designed for micro:bit and perfect for students 8+, it’s the robot that just works. No more fiddling, just learning and fun — right out of the box.
Line-Following That’s Plug-and-Play
Let’s face it: most classroom line followers are more “erratic snake” than “clever bot.” Not Maqueen Lite V5! Thanks to its snappy new 3-probe sensor array and rock-solid, chip-level algorithm, this robot traces lines like a champ — instantly, using a single programming block. No more calibration chaos, just effortless, wow-worthy demos every time.
Ready to Multitask (Like, Actually)
Because the line-following smarts are embedded right into the chip, your micro:bit stays free to work its magic elsewhere! Maqueen Lite V5 can dodge obstacles, play with light sensors, flip between display modes, and keep on line-tracking without breaking a sweat — perfect for those “Can we try…?” moments in class.
Built Tough for the Classroom
Ever seen a robot lose a wheel to someone’s wandering shoelace? Maqueen’s metal motors are fully enclosed, battle-tested, and swap out in seconds if students get too curious. Its crash-resistant build is ready for class after class — and, yeah, for robotics competitions too.
Open, Tinker-Friendly, and Plug-and-Play
Want to switch out a motor? Go for it! Maqueen Lite V5’s detachable motor design means repairs are quick and painless. And about that assembly? None required — open the box, pop in batteries, and go. The whole robot, wheels and all, is classroom-ready from minute one.
Delightful Sensing and Dazzling Lights
Maqueen Lite V5 isn’t just smart — it’s showy. Two light intensity sensors mean you can program it to chase the sun or run from your flashlight, all while its RGB headlights and underglow light up the room with color-coded fun.
