Designed for classroom robotics and STEAM projects, this kit combines the micro:Maqueen Plus V2 18650 robot base with the micro:Maqueen Mechanic add-on set for forklift, push, beetle and loader builds.
Maqueen Plus V2 builds on the Maqueen series with a larger body, more expansion ports, a higher-capacity 18650 power option, line-tracking sensors, RGB ambient lighting, car lights, a buzzer, IR receiver and ultrasonic sensing. It is compatible with peripherals such as the HuskyLens AI camera, making it suitable for lessons, after-school activities and robot competitions.
The bundle includes the Maqueen Plus V2 18650 vehicle body, H-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, line-tracking map, Mechanic plates, brackets, fasteners, two 9g servos and an installation manual. The micro:bit board and batteries are not included.
Programming is supported through Mind+ and MakeCode, with a MakeCode library available for the Maqueen Plus V2 platform.
Features:
- No complex assembly, get started in minutes
- More IO expansion ports: 3.3V IO x7, 5V IO x3, I2C x3
- 5 line-tracking sensors, reliable and flexible
- Larger body, more flexible expansion methods
- Two versions to choose from: AA battery and 18650 battery
- AA battery version supports 1.2V Ni MH battery or 1.5V alkaline battery, while 18650 battery version supports 3.7V 18650 battery
- Works well with HuskyLens AI camera
- Rich peripherals: IR receiver, LED car lights, RGB ambient lights, buzzer, ultrasonic sensor, etc.
- Frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom
- Storage box with a deeper base to provide enough room for the assembled Maqueen Plus car

A solid choice for STEM education, robotics clubs and competition practice where students need a flexible micro:bit robot platform with mechanical expansion options.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 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 (LED) is a small electronic component that emits light when current flows through it in the correct direction. Because it only conducts one way, its polarity matters, and a through-hole LED must be soldered the correct way around to light up.
- line-tracking sensor
- A line-tracking sensor detects contrast between a dark line and a lighter surface, usually using infrared light. It matters for robot activities where the robot follows a track, such as classroom challenges or competitions.
- RGB
- Short for red, green and blue, the three primary colours of light that are mixed in varying amounts to make a wide range of colours. In electronics RGB can refer to an LED or pixel that blends these three colours, or to a colour signal or interface that carries separate red, green and blue channels.
- Type-C
- USB Type-C (USB-C) is a small, reversible USB connector used for charging, power, and data transfer on many modern devices. A Type-C port or plug indicates the cable and charger connection needed to power, charge, or communicate with a device.
- Ultrasonic module
- An ultrasonic module measures distance by sending out high-frequency sound pulses and timing their echo. It is commonly used for obstacle detection and simple range-finding projects, but it needs a clear path to the target.
- ultrasonic sensing
- Ultrasonic sensing uses high-frequency sound waves to estimate distance to nearby objects. For a robot kit, this helps with obstacle avoidance and simple navigation activities.
