The Starter Robot kit from Makeblock contains a wealth of electronic and mechanical components for you to jump into the world of robot design. Whether you're a novice or an experienced builder you'll be impressed by the scope and quality of this kit. The major parts are made from beautiful anodised aluminium giving your robots a professional, hi-tech look.
The heart of the kit is the Me Orion programmable controller which is based on the popular Arduino UNO with a strong Internet community for examples and tutorials. Control your new robotic creation with the Makeblock HD app on your iPad (v3 or better) or Android tablet, the free mBlock program or the Arduino IDE using C/C++ on your PC, Mac or laptop.
New to mBlock/Scratch?mBlock is a graphical programming system based on Scratch where you drag and drop functional blocks from a palette onto a work area to create a program. Each shape has a different function and they snap together in logical ways, some even have slots to drop in other blocks. For example, a block might order the robot to run forward at speed 50 where the direction and speed are chosen from simple drop down menus. This drag and drop interface allows quite young children to get creative with the mBot yet is capable of programming complex behaviours.
