This classroom-ready bundle brings together the Maqueen Plus V2 AA robot platform, Maqueen Mechanic attachments, micro:bit V2 boards and a wireless gamepad for hands-on STEAM robotics lessons and projects.
The Maqueen Plus V2 has a larger body, more expansion ports, built-in line tracking, lighting, buzzer, IR reception and an ultrasonic sensor, making it suitable for classroom teaching, after-school activities and robot competitions. It is designed to be quick to start with, while still offering room to expand with peripherals such as the HuskyLens AI camera.
The kit includes the Maqueen Plus V2 (AA battery) vehicle body with motor, wheels, support wheel and battery panel pre-installed, H-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, warranty card, Maqueen Mechanic set (Forklift, Push, Beetle and Loader), two micro:bit V2 boards, two Type-C & Micro 2-in-1 USB cables, a micro:bit wireless gamepad, two 9g servos, mounting plates, bucket, gripper/arm parts, copper bolts, nuts and an installation manual. Batteries are not included.
Programming is supported through Mind+ and MakeCode, with a MakeCode library provided for the Maqueen Plus V2.
Features:
- No complex assembly, get started in minutes
- More IO expansion ports: 3.3V IOx7, 5V IOx3, I2Cx3
- 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.

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 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.
- 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.
- Ni-MH battery
- A Ni-MH battery is a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride battery, often used as an alternative to disposable alkaline AA cells. It matters because rechargeable cells have a lower voltage per cell, so the product must explicitly support them to work reliably.
- 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.
