Excellent robot kit

I am an experienced roboticist with extensive experience building robots from commercial kits as well as my creations. When I was looking for a cheap microcontroller for my students, I came across a cute and inexpensive robot. called Micro Rover by Freenove, based on the ubiquitous BBC MicroBit card. Then I realized that this company offers other more complex robots based on Arduino and Raspberry Pi at a very reasonable price. The dog I am writing this review for. This kit is one of the best I've ever made. the necessary cables, connectors and accessories, and the well-designed circuit board that ties it all together. As a bonus, Freenove offers a great PDF user manual (122 pages with clear pictures). , codes and data tables). This kit might seem a little intimidating for beginners, but it is so well designed, built and documented that I fully recommend it to anyone interested in how modern autonomous robots are built, programmed and controlled. It runs on two readily available 18650 3.7V batteries and requires a Raspberry Pi as the controlling SBC (single board computer). This is not a disappointing kit with missing parts, unclear instructions and non-existent customer service. If you get stuck, Freenove offers great personalized online help. Roberto Pensotti
