Product Description cyber:bot Robot Kit Overview: Transform your students’ micro:bit modules into full-featured robots! The cyber:bot robot 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 CYBER.ORG, the adademic initiative of the Cyber Innovation Center. This kit does NOT include a micro:bit module; it is offered as a convenience for classrooms that already have a supply of micro:bit modules v1.5 or v2 on hand, both are compatible. For a complete kit, purchase the cyber:bot Robot Kit with micro:bit (#32700). Purchase the micro:bit GO bundle (#32703) if a replacement module is needed. Features: Python-programmable with Mu software or online MicroPython editor cyber:bot board neatly connects the micro:bit to the Propeller Multicore Microcontroller and robot hardware Propeller multicore microcontroller pre-programmed with cyber:bot firmware manages sensors and servo motor control Build DIY sensor circuits on the breadboard that use touch, visible light, and infrared light Compatible with Parallax small robot add-ons including the Ping))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, LaserPING Distance Sensor, QTI Line Follower Kit, and Crawler Kit Free online Robotics and Cybersecurity tutorials and educator resources – see the cyber:bot Tutorial Series page RoHS CE and UKCA Declarations of Conformity for this kit are available under the Downloads tab.
