Product Description: Pi Supply Bit:Buggy Car - cap for micro:bit
Bit:Buggy Car has threeGPIOports.Two of them are for servos, the third one is for connecting other accessories. This is the basic version of the Buggy Carwith a micro:bit boardfor in-line control of thevehicleandremote control. Thanks to the extension of the set with additional sensors and modules, Bit:Buggy Car can obtain such additional functions as following the light beam, avoiding obstacles or drawing. The system is powered by three AAA batteries,which are notincluded in the set.

"Robotic overlay" for BBC micro:bit platform
The Buggy Car is a miniature mobile platform that allows you to build a simple mobile robot from the popular BBC micro:bit programming board. The kit consists of a printed circuit board, which is the basis for connecting the micro:bit controller, an additional development board, micro drive servo and the necessary mechanical components and cabling.
Pi Supply Bit:Buggy Car - a cap for the BBC micro:bit allows for the construction of a two-wheeled platform with a rear support ball - the use of 360o servos allowed to simplify the construction by eliminating additional motor controllers. Full dimensional compatibility of all elements makes the construction of the robot easy and will not cause any difficulties even for the youngest electronics adepts.
Programming support
A big advantage of the BBC micro:bit platform offered in our shop is a strong support from the developers. Apart from a clear, very easy to use and intuitive environment for graphical tile programming (available for free online), the manufacturer also offers many sample projects.
Among the sample programs for the Buggy Car presented by the micro:bit team, there are both very simple solutions (e.g. requiring the employee to drive at full speed forward) and a bit more complex (e.g. "crazy dance" or remote control). Some of the projects are based on the examination of the environment with sensors, which allows the design to react to light stimuli.
