Description
Cutebot is the micro:bit robot car most people picture when they think of one. It is small, quick and almost entirely pre-assembled — only the batteries and the ultrasonic sensor need fitting, so a class can be driving within minutes of opening the box rather than at the end of the lesson.
What's included:
- Cutebot rear-drive car with dual N20 high-speed motors
- HC-SR04+ ultrasonic distance sensor
- Large line-following map and user guide
- Two RGB LED headlights, two NeoPixel rainbow lights and underbody clearance lamps
- Two line-tracking probes, a buzzer horn and an infrared receiver
- Runs on 3 x AAA batteries, not included
- micro:bit board is not included — add a micro:bit V2 at checkout
What students practise:
- Sequencing and speed control — the difference between full speed and gradual
- Line following and obstacle avoidance using sensor thresholds
- Block coding in MakeCode, progressing to Python, JavaScript or C++
- Measuring, adjusting and testing rather than guessing
The arc-shaped shell takes knocks well and the motors are fully enclosed against dust, which matters for a robot that spends its life on classroom floors. A 3-pin port allows sensor expansion, and the body accepts standard building bricks. Measures 85 x 85 x 38 mm.
