cyber:bot Robot Kit w/ micro:bit
Description cyber:bot Robot Kit w/micro:bit Is Python-programmable with Mu software Neatly connects the micro:bit Age: 8-14+ Manages sensors and servo motor control Is compatible with Parallax small robot Provides free online tutorials and educator resources The cyber:bot Robot Kit w/micro:bit adds a tangible hardware dimension to Python-focused computer science, CTE and cybersecurity programs. The cyber:bot robot puts the BBC micro:bit module on the Parallax small robot form factor that's a proven STEM success in classrooms from middle school into college, leveraging the add-ons available for this chassis. A user-transparent onboard Propeller Multicore Microcontroller assists the micro:bit, handling the real-time servo motor control and sensors built on the breadboard. This enables more robust robotic applications that go beyond what the micro:bit can do on its own. The cyber:bot robot is a joint project of Parallax Inc. and NICERC, the National Integrated Cyber Education Research Center. The cyber:bot product family includes kit options and individual parts for fleet maintenance. Four mounting holes allow the cyber:bot robot to be used with the Parallax Small Robot Chassis. These plated mounting holes are connected to the board’s ground plane. The 2.1 mm center-positive power jack accepts 6 to 24 VDC, although a maximum of 15 VDC is recommended. This input powers the cyber:bot board, including the power access headers, and optionally the 3-pin ports. It will also power an attached micro:bit module, that isn't receiving power from the USB port.
