Robotics with the Microbit

We will examine a robot like the one you will build to understand the component parts.This small, cheap microcontroller will be the brains of the robot. You will plug it in and see how it works, creating a simple program to control some lights.You will consider the mechanics and design the robot body. Y

ou will select from a range of body shapes and sizes, motor speeds and wheel sizes.You will assemble the robot, adding a motor controller board and wiring the components together.

You will program your robot to make simple movements.You will learn how to program another Micro:bit to work as a remote control using the radio function.You will make changes and test the robot. Students working at a faster pace can add additional robot actions and enhancements.
