Product Details
Note: The micro:bit board and batteries are not included. The Maqueen Plus V2 is the latest version of the STEAM educational robot Maqueen Plus. Here's what's new: It comes with an 18650 battery version, a new plastic box with a deeper base to hold the assembled car, and a frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom for greater durability. The number of line - tracking sensors has been reduced from 6 to 5, making programming and optimizing line - tracking codes more convenient. It uses motors with the same parameters as the previous Maqueen, ensuring steady and smooth running. The ultrasonic sensor has been changed to SR04 for easier installation. There are 4 RGB ambient lights added at the base, and the RGB car lights have been replaced with LEDs. The less - used magnetic encoder has been removed. This robot is optimized with more expansion ports, a larger - capacity power supply, and a bigger body. It's fully compatible with many peripheral components like the HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic Kits, making it a great STEAM teaching tool for primary and secondary students. It's suitable for classroom teaching, after - school exercises, and robot competitions. Besides the functions of Maqueen Lite, it offers richer, more flexible functions and stronger performance. It's easy to start using, even if you're new to Maqueen Series products. Features include: no complex assembly (you can start in minutes), more IO expansion ports (3.3V IO x7, 5V IO x3, I2C x3), 5 reliable and flexible line - tracking sensors, a larger body for more flexible expansion, two battery versions to choose from (AA and 18650), good compatibility with the HuskyLens AI camera, rich peripherals like IR receiver, LED car lights, RGB ambient lights, buzzer, ultrasonic sensor, and a storage box with a deeper base.
Using the Maqueen Plus V2 is a breeze. First, make sure you have the appropriate batteries (either AA or 18650 depending on the version you choose) as the batteries are not included. You don't need to worry about complex assembly; you can get it up and running in just a few minutes. The robot has a lot of expansion ports, so you can easily connect different peripheral components like the HuskyLens AI camera or other Maqueen Mechanic Kits. When programming, the 5 line - tracking sensors are more convenient to work with compared to the previous version. The ultrasonic sensor SR04 is easy to install and helps the robot detect obstacles. For the RGB ambient lights and LED car lights, you can customize their display according to your needs. As for maintenance, keep the frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom clean. If there's dust on it, you can use a soft cloth to wipe it gently. When not in use, store the robot in the provided storage box with the deeper base to protect it from damage. Also, always follow the safety instructions when handling the batteries to avoid any potential risks.
