4TRONIX BIT:BOT ROBOT FOR BBC MICRO:BIT

4TRONIX BIT:BOT ROBOT FOR BBC MICRO:BIT
 

This (almost) ready-assembled robot requires no soldering, no wires and nothing more than a screwdriver to complete it.

NOTE: BBC Micro:Bit is NOT included.

The Bit:Bot fully engages children and adults alike, allowing you to explore and code the BBC Micro:Bit using any of the languages available (not all features are supported in all languages)

Features
2x micro-metal gear motors. Both fully controllable in software, for both speed (0 to 100%) and direction (forward or reverse)
12x mini neopixels in 2 sets of 6 along the arms either side. Select any colour for any pixel, produce stunning lighting effects as your Bit:Bot moves around
2x digital line following sensors. Code your own line-following robots and race them to see whose code produces the fastest lap time!
2x analog light sensors (front left and front right) so your Bit:Bot can be programmed to follow a light source such as a torch, or you could code it to go and hide in the darkest place it can find
Wheels with rubber tires for maximum grip
Really smooth nylon ball front caster
Buzzer, so you can make beeping sounds whenever you want
Powered from integrated 3x AA battery holder with on/off switch and blue indicator LED
Easily plug your BBC micro:bit in and out using the edge connector
Extension port for addition neopixels 
Expansion connections at the front for additional sensors (Ultrasonic rangefinder available now, more in development)
Optionally, you can add an Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (rangefinder) module. The sensor can be either soldered to the module, or connected via a socket. No soldering is required for either version. The socketed version makes it easier to connect a straight micro-USB lead to the Micro:Bit, but the soldered version is more robust.
4tronix also have an option for a pen holder that is fitted at the back. This can be plain, or have LEDs on to create a glow ring effect around the pen
