Product description: DFRobot micro: Maqueen Plus V2.1 - Advanced educational robot platform - DFRobot MBT0021-EN
An advanced educational robot platform micro: Maqueen Plus V2.1, designed to work with the BBC micro:bit module. The plus version has been optimized for better power management and powered by a higher capacity battery. It has a larger design, relative to the basic version, allowing you to expand the robot with more features. Maqueen Plus V2.1 allows you to mount the HuskyLens module, so you can create designs that recognize objects using AI (artificial intelligence). Designed for intermediate to advanced users, for beginners we recommend the basic version. The robot can be controlled wirelessly using the micro:Gamepad.
