Product Details
This product includes the latest Maqueen Plus V2 and a set of Maqueen Mechanic parts (Forklift, Push, Beetle, and Loader). Note that the micro: bit board and batteries are not included. The Maqueen Plus V2 offers two power supply options: 4 AA batteries or 1 18650 battery. It comes in a new plastic box with a deeper base, providing enough space for the assembled car. The bottom features a frosted acrylic protective plate, making it more durable. The number of line - tracking sensors has been reduced from 6 to 5, simplifying programming. It uses motors with the same parameters as the previous Maqueen, ensuring stable 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 are now LEDs. The less - used magnetic encoder has been removed. With more expansion ports, a larger capacity power supply, and a bigger body, Maqueen Plus V2 is fully compatible with many peripheral components like the HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic Kits. It's a great STEAM robot teaching tool for primary and secondary students, suitable for classroom teaching, after - school exercises, and robot competitions. It has all the functions of Maqueen Lite, plus richer and more flexible features. No complex assembly is required, and you can start using it in minutes. It has more IO expansion ports, 5 reliable line - tracking sensors, a larger body for flexible expansion, and works well with the HuskyLens AI camera. It also comes with rich peripherals such as an IR receiver, LED car lights, RGB ambient lights, a buzzer, and an ultrasonic sensor. Specifications include a power supply of 1.5V AA alkaline batteries x 4 or 1.2V AA Ni - MH batteries x 4, support for micro: bit V1 and V2, N20 all - metal gear motors, and more. The shipping list contains the Maqueen Plus V2 (AA battery) vehicle body, an H - SR04 ultrasonic sensor, a line - tracking map, and various parts for the Maqueen Mechanic along with an installation manual.
Using the Maqueen Plus V2 is super easy. First, you need to choose your preferred power supply - either 4 AA batteries or 1 18650 battery. Then, if you want to use the Maqueen Mechanic parts, just follow the installation manual to assemble them on the Maqueen Plus V2 body. You can start programming right away using platforms like Mind+ or MakeCode. The 5 line - tracking sensors make it convenient to program line - tracking codes. For any peripheral components like the HuskyLens AI camera, simply connect them to the appropriate IO expansion ports. When it comes to maintenance, keep the frosted acrylic protective plate at the bottom clean to ensure its durability. If you're using batteries, make sure to replace them when they're low. Also, store the robot in the provided storage box with the deeper base to protect it. And remember, the micro: bit board and batteries are not included, so you'll need to get them separately.
