## Description

The Maqueen Plus V3 is an advanced programmable STEM robot designed for primary and secondary school robotics education and competitions. Powered by a micro:bit controller (sold separately), it combines a matrix laser ranging sensor, high-precision motor encoders with PID control, and built-in algorithms for line-tracking and intersection recognition. With its sophisticated sensor suite and onboard processing, the Maqueen Plus V3 enables students to tackle complex autonomous navigation challenges while keeping programming accessible through the micro:bit's block-based and Python coding environments. Key Features Matrix Laser Ranging Sensor – Superior accuracy (±11 mm for white targets at 20–200 mm) with up to 60 Hz response rate in 4×4 mode and a 60° field of view PID Motor Control – High-precision encoders for accurate speed and distance control Built-In Line Tracking – Onboard algorithms handle line-following independently, freeing the main controller for other tasks Intersection Recognition – Identifies crossroads, T-junctions, and other junction types in real time for map-based challenges Obstacle Detection & Avoidance – Matrix sensor pinpoints obstacle positions for intelligent route planning micro:bit Powered – Program with MakeCode blocks, Python, or JavaScript AA Battery Powered – Uses standard AA batteries for convenient power Ideal For STEM robotics education in primary and secondary schools Robotics competitions and challenges Learning autonomous navigation and pathfinding Teaching programming concepts through hands-on robotics Note: A micro:bit v2 controller and AA batteries are required and sold separately.
