This Maqueen kit brings together the micro:bit-based Maqueen Lite robot platform with a micro:bit V2, gamepad, track map, blue skin pack, USB cable and the Maqueen Mechanic add-ons for forklift, push, beetle and loader builds. It is designed as an easy-to-use STEAM education robot for students aged 8+.
Maqueen Lite keeps the small, playful feel of micro:bit while adding motors, line sensing, LEDs, RGB ambient lights, buzzer, ultrasonic interface, I2C and Gravity expansion. It is a compact way to explore graphical programming, robot movement, line patrol projects and sensor-based activities.
The kit includes micro: Maqueen Lite-micro:bit Educational Programming Robot Platform *1, micro: Maqueen Lite Skin Pack - Blue *1, micro:bit V2 - an Educational Creative Tool for Kids *1, micro:Maqueen Mechanic - Forklift *1, micro:Maqueen Mechanic - Beetle *1, micro:Maqueen Mechanic - Loader *1, micro:Maqueen Mechanic - Push *1, micro:GamePad - GamePad for micro:bit (V4.0) *1, Type-C & Micro 2-in-1 USB Cable *1 and Track Map *1. Each product combination is independently packaged and delivered. Batteries are not included.
Maqueen is supported by MakeCode and the Mind+ graphical programming platform from DFRobot, with source documents including the Maqueen Lite Wiki, Maqueen4.1-MakeCode-Tutorial, Silly-Maqueen-Makecode, Silly-Maqueen-Mindplus and MicroPython resources.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- Gravity
- Gravity is DFRobot’s plug-in connector system for sensors, motors and modules, using standard cables to reduce loose jumper wiring. It matters because Gravity-compatible parts can connect directly to these ports, while non-Gravity parts may need adapters or manual wiring.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- LED
- A light-emitting diode is a small electronic component that lights up when current flows through it in the correct direction. In this kit, LEDs create the flashing effect, so polarity and correct soldering matter for the project to work.
- MicroPython
- A version of the Python programming language made to run on microcontrollers. It matters because it lets beginners write readable code to control LEDs, sensors, motors and displays without needing to start with lower-level languages.
- PWM
- Pulse Width Modulation is a way for a digital pin to simulate variable output power by switching on and off very quickly. It matters for controlling things like LED brightness, motor speed, or servo-style signals from a microcontroller pin.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, usually referring to an LED that can mix those three colours. It matters because controlling an RGB LED teaches how separate outputs combine to create different colours.
