Makeblock mBot Blue (Bluetooth Version)

Robotics integrate all STEM fields and always make each kid crazy. It
can help kids get hands-on experience on mechanics, electronics,
control system and computer science.
However, all robots on the market seem to be expensive, hard to
assemble, trouble to wire and complex to program. Our goal is to
create an affordable, easy-to-use and open source robot for per kid:
ONE ROBOT PER KID.

mBot is a low cost, easy-to-run robot kit for kids to get hands-on
experience about graphical programming, electronics, robotics. It is
an all-in-one solution for robotics learning and designed for STEM
education.

Cute shape with easy assembly is our goal. mBot contains only about 45
pieces in total, so it is easy to have a sense of achievement for kids
to assemble in 10 mins quickly.

Graphical programming inspired by Scratch 2.0

Since Scratch2.0 is very popular in teachers and students as a
graphical programming software, it has almost been proved to be the
most easy-to-use graphical programming tool. So based on Scratch 2.0,
we develop a new software mBlock to use Scratch-style coding to
program Arduino and robots.

We designed specially two available wireless communication instead of
wired USB cable, so users can enjoy wireless programming to control
robots without the limit of USB cable. The Bluetooth Version comes
with a Bluetooth module and is suitable for individual usage or team
working; The 2.4G Version comes with two 2.4G wireless modules and is
suitable for classroom
