Robo:Bit Required

The Robo:Bit is a motorised robot/buggy that utilises the Micro:Bit as it's controller. The team has a stock of Robo:Bits that schools can borrow and the following challenges support the Robo:Bit

Getting Started: Coding the Robot:bit This challenge is a simple start to working with the Robo:Bits and making them move in a sequenced way.

Intermediate: Challenge - Radio Control This challenge enables the pupils to explore a simple radio control using a second Micro:Bit to control the Robo:Bit.

Advanced: Challenge - Bulldozer Drive This challenge is an advanced and fun way to explore the Robo:Bit. The code for this example is complex and can be directly accessed here:

Drive example code: Code - Bulldozer Drive (For the Robo:Bit)
