The blue MeArm micro:bit is an easy-to-build robot arm kit designed to get children (and adults) learning about technology, engineering and programming. Its simple design means it is easy for anyone aged 11+ to build and use.
At its heart is the BBC micro:bit (sold separately), a low cost computer developed to make learning about computing accessible and fun. You can control the robot arm directly through the on-board joysticks, or by learning code to make it move using one of the programming languages supported by the BBC micro:bit.
The big benefit of being integrated with the micro:bit is the availability of coding editors to suit every coding ability level. You can use MakeCode Blocks & Javascript editors, or the MicroPython or MU editors to code the MeArm.
A lot of effort has gone into making it simple to start programming your MeArm as soon as you've built it. The MeArm micro:bit version has been designed from the ground up to be easy to assemble. Children can build it themselves - and adults may be able to build it unaided too!
The only tool you'll need to build your robot arm is a hex key, and one is included in the box.
Kit includes:
- 1 x Pack of blue plastic parts for the structure of the arm
- 1 x Socket head screw for easy assembling
- 1 x Hex key
- 4 x Metal gear servos
- 1 x Battery box
- 1 x PCB for the microbit with on-board joysticks (already assembled)
Please note: Kit does not include a micro:bit. This is available separately here: 75-0115.
