This bundle brings together the micro:Maqueen Plus V2 robot platform, the micro:Maqueen Mechanic kit and a micro:bit V2 board for classroom STEAM projects, after-school builds and robot competitions. Batteries are not included.
Maqueen Plus V2 is designed as an easy-to-start educational robot with a larger body, more expansion ports and support for add-ons such as HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic kits. It includes line tracking, ultrasonic sensing, IR reception, LED car lights, RGB ambient lighting and a buzzer for a broad range of beginner-to-intermediate robotics activities.
The included Maqueen Plus V2 AA vehicle body has the motor, vehicle wheel, support wheel and battery panel installed before delivery. The bundle also includes an H-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, micro:Maqueen Mechanic kit, micro:bit V2 board, Type-C & Micro 2-in-1 USB cable, warranty card, installation manual, Mechanic plates and brackets, fasteners, nuts and 2 x 9g servos.
Programming is supported through Mind+ and MakeCode, with a MakeCode library provided for Maqueen Plus V2 projects.
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.
- Frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom
- Storage box with a deeper base to provide enough room for the assembled Maqueen Plus car
- 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
- The number of Line-tracking sensors has changed from 6 to 5, more convenient to program and optimise line-tracking codes
- Employs the motors whose parameters are the same as previous Maqueen, running steadily and smoothly
- Changes ultrasonic sensor to SR04, easier to install
- Add 4 RGB ambient lights at the base, RGB car lights have been changed to LEDs
- Delete the less usable magnetic encoder

A strong choice for STEM education, robotics lessons, line-tracking challenges and micro:bit-based mechanical builds.
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- encoder
- A device attached to a motor or shaft that reports movement, such as rotation steps or position. In a pump system, an encoder can help measure or control how much the motor has turned, which affects how repeatable the watering amount can be.
- 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.
- 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.
