MakeBlock Robot M-Bot
Features of the mBot include:
- Easy build: With 38 mechanical parts and color-labeled ports for convenient wiring, the mBot can be build in 20 minutes, giving users a fun and hands on DIY experience which can later inspire them to build more.
- Graphical programming: mBot uses the popular drag-and-drop programming software mBlock which provides a quick way to learn programming, control the robot and realize multiple functions for the robot.
- Compatible with Arduino: With mBlock being the first Scratch-based programming software that can upload programs to Arduino-based boards, mBot works with Arduino like charm.
- Infinite Extensibility: You can use any mechanical parts and electronic modules you need to turn the mBot into your "dream robot". The mechanical body of the mBot is also compatible with most Lego parts.
- Rich online courses: To help teachers, parents, or children get started easier and faster, Makeblock has developed manuals, e-books, online tutorial videos to encourage children's creativity.
The color update of the mBot comes on the heels of Makeblock's first Drone release, Airblock, a modular, programmable starter drone that can convert to a hovercraft in seconds. Airblock has raised more than $520K on Kickstarter and is available now for pre-order starting at $99. The perfect gift for kids, kids at heart and hobbyists.
Makeblock continues to establish its name in the STEM education field with more than 500 metal parts, electronic modules as well as software and over 20 robot kits to more than 140 countries around the world.
