Carro micro:bit ACEBOTT TinkerBott (com micro:bit) QD024

The ACEBOTT TinkerBott micro:bit Car is a DIY robotics kit that combines the BBC micro:bit V2 with a programmable vehicle chassis. Unlike many entry-level robot cars that rely on a single sensor or fixed behaviour, this kit integrates ultrasonic obstacle detection, line tracking, infrared control, and addressable RGB lighting in one self-assembly package, making it a practical platform for learning coding and electronics through hands-on projects.

Highlights

• Includes BBC micro:bit V2 as the main controller
• Programmable in MakeCode with Blockly, Python, or JavaScript
• Obstacle avoidance and line following capabilities
• 4 programmable RGB LEDs and buzzer for feedback
• Bluetooth app control and IR remote control
• High-strength acrylic chassis with expansion ports

In daily use

The TinkerBott car is built for learning by doing. After assembling the chassis and connecting the motors and sensors, students can write code to make the car follow a line, avoid obstacles, or respond to remote commands. The ultrasonic sensor provides distance measurement for autonomous navigation, while the line tracking sensors enable precise path following. The RGB LEDs and buzzer add visual and audio feedback, making programs more engaging. With Bluetooth connectivity via the micro:bit, the car can be controlled from a smartphone or tablet, and the IR remote offers a simple alternative for younger users.
