Our newly enhanced 4WD MiniQ mobile platform is tailor - made for educational purposes. It arrives fully assembled. All you need is a PC with Arduino IDE and 4xAA batteries. This special version of the MiniQ 4WD robot offers better off - road performance. It has a higher ground clearance of 25mm (up from 9mm), a larger approach angle, and can handle complex terrains easily. The robot comes with an Arduino Leonardo controller (ATmega32u4) and integrates useful modules like RGB LED, photosensitive diode, infrared transmitters and receivers, light sensors, extra buttons, and a buzzer. We provide 8 beginner - friendly lessons with this upgraded kit, covering from basic operations to line - following, obstacle avoidance, and remote control. All the codes and tutorials are open - source and free to download. Note that since the line tracking sensors are removed, the line - following lesson isn't available. You can buy the 4WD MiniQ Complete Kit V2.0 if you need this feature. The MiniQ 4WD Cross Country differs from the MiniQ 4WD with higher ground clearance and no line - following sensors on the chassis. Features include great off - road ability on a compact platform, Micro USB for code download, a WS2812 RGB LED controllable with one pin, comfortable soft buttons, and infrared components for obstacle detection along with an IR remote control. Specifications: Controller is Atmega32U4 (Arduino Leonardo), power supply can be 4x AA batteries or Micro - USB, working voltage is 4.5 to 6V, it's 4WD, max speed is 79cm/s, and size is 115x110x45mm. Shipping includes one MiniQ 4WD Cross Country, one IR remote controller, and one Micro USB cable.




Using the MiniQ 4WD Cross Country Arduino Mobile Robot is easy. First, make sure you have a PC with Arduino IDE installed and insert 4x AA batteries or connect it via Micro - USB. The robot comes fully assembled, so you're ready to start. Follow the 8 lessons we provide to learn how to control the robot. You can make it move, avoid obstacles, and even use the IR remote control. When using the IR remote, just point it at the robot and press the buttons. Remember, the line - following lesson isn't available as the line tracking sensors are removed. If you want this feature, buy the 4WD MiniQ Complete Kit V2.0. For maintenance, keep the robot clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or moisture. If you're having trouble with the code, you can download the sample code pack and tutorial pack from the provided documents. Enjoy exploring with your robot!
