The Flamewheel is a star in our Education Robot Series. It's an incredibly agile two - wheeled robot with a one - of - a - kind and innovative way of moving. You'll have a blast assembling this robot on your own, all while getting to know electronics and mechanical principles. Crafted from laser - cut linden wood, it only takes a few screws to finish the assembly. It's built around a Romeo BLE mini (Bluetooth 4.0 microcontroller) and is compatible with DFRobot 'Gravity' modules, which makes it perfect for classrooms and those new to electronics. You can control the Flamewheel via Bluetooth using your smartphone and the 'Goble' Generic BLE APP Controller. Features include two - wheel drive (2WD), wooden construction, quick and easy assembly, support for Bluetooth wireless programming, and app control (iOS).

Using the Flamewheel robot is a breeze. First, assemble it following the manual included in the shipping list. It's made of laser - cut linden wood and only needs a few screws, so it won't take you long. Once assembled, connect it to your smartphone via Bluetooth using the 'Goble' app. You can then control its movements right from your phone. When it comes to power, make sure to use a power source within the operating voltage range of 6 - 10V. Keep in mind the operating current and temperature limits. Don't let the robot operate in extreme heat (above 60 °C) or cold (below 0 °C). For maintenance, check the screws regularly to ensure they're tight. If you notice any issues with the motors or the microcontroller, refer to the Wiki for troubleshooting. Also, keep the robot away from water and dust to avoid damage. Have fun exploring the world of electronics with your Flamewheel robot!
