micro:Maqueen Plus V2 (18650) with Mechanic, micro:bit V2 and Gamepad

This DFRobot bundle brings together the Maqueen Plus V2 18650 vehicle body with the micro:Maqueen Mechanic set, micro:bit V2 boards and a micro: Gamepad for a more complete classroom or maker robotics setup.

Maqueen Plus V2 is a STEAM educational robot built for primary and secondary students, after-school projects and robot competitions. It expands on Maqueen Lite with more IO, a larger body, a higher-capacity power system and compatibility with peripherals such as the HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic Kits.

The kit includes the Maqueen Plus V2 (18650 battery) vehicle body, H-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, micro:Maqueen Mechanic (Forklift, Push, Beetle, and Loader), micro:bit V2 boards x 2, Type-C & Micro 2-in-1 USB Cable x 2, and a micro: Gamepad. Batteries are not included.

Programming support is provided through Mind+ and MakeCode, with a DFRobot MakeCode library available for the Maqueen Plus V2 platform.

Features:

• Two versions to choose from: 4 AA battery and 18650 battery
• New plastic box: with a deeper base, enough room for the assembled car
• Frosted acrylic protective plate: at the bottom, more durable and reliable
• Line-tracking sensors: the number of Line-tracking sensors has changed from 6 to 5, more convenient to program and optimize line-tracking codes
• Motors: employs the motors whose parameters are the same as previous Maqueen, running steadily and smoothly
• Ultrasonic sensor: changes ultrasonic sensor to SR04, easier to install
• RGB ambient lights: add 4 RGB ambient lights at the base, RGB car lights have been changed to LEDs
• Magnetic encoder: delete the less usable magnetic encoder
• No complex assembly: get started in minutes
• More IO expansion ports: 3.3V IO x7, 5V IO x3, I2C x3
• Line tracking: 5 line-tracking sensors, reliable and flexible
• Larger body: more flexible expansion methods
• Two versions to choose from: AA battery and 18650 battery
• Battery support: AA battery version supports 1.2V Ni MH battery or 1.5V alkaline battery, while 18650 battery version supports 3.7V 18650 battery
