The ELECFREAKS TPBot Edu Car Kit is a highly versatile, rechargeable smart coding car for the micro:bit, blending educational robotics with the pure joy of building. It works right out of the box as a smart toy that can follow lines and avoid obstacles. However, once you insert the micro:bit board, it transforms into a powerful educational tool. Equipped with a built-in battery, precision encoder motors, full compatibility with standard building blocks (like LEGO), and easy programming via MakeCode, Python, and JavaScript, it is the perfect toolkit for children aged 8+, STEM schools, and future engineers.

Transform Learning into Play with the TPBot Edu

Unleash children's imagination with the upgraded ELECFREAKS TPBot Edu Car Kit. It is not just a smart robot; it is a canvas of creativity waiting to be explored. With a built-in rechargeable battery, building block support, and intuitive programming, every coding lesson turns into an exciting STEM adventure.

ELECFREAKS TPBot Edu Car Kit Main Overview

Built-in Battery & Precision Encoder Motors

Forget about constantly changing batteries! The Edu version features a built-in rechargeable lithium battery for endless hours of experimentation and easy USB charging. Furthermore, its upgraded encoder motors ensure absolute movement precision, allowing the vehicle to maintain a steady course and execute turns with mathematical accuracy.

Limitless Creativity with Building Blocks

The TPBot’s chassis is designed with special structural holes, making it 100% compatible with popular building blocks on the market. Children can completely alter its appearance, transforming it into a fire engine, a police patrol car, a dump truck, or whatever they imagine, seamlessly blending mechanical engineering with robotics.

Advanced Sensors & Dual Mode (Play & Code)

Equipped with built-in line-tracking sensors and a powerful ultrasonic sensor (Sonar), the TPBot can operate autonomously as a line-following toy. By inserting the micro:bit board, the car unlocks its true programming potential. It also features expansion ports (PlanetX compatible) for adding extra sensors.

Programming & STEM Education

The TPBot is fully supported by the Microsoft MakeCode visual programming environment, utilizing dedicated ELECFREAKS Extensions to make initial coding steps intuitive. As proficiency grows, kids can transition to text-based languages like Python and JavaScript, fully meeting the demands of robotics competitions.

Higher precision, Better control, Longer battery life

The new TPBot Edu brings major improvements over the original TPBot in three key areas: movement, turning, and battery. Unlike the original TPBot that might wobble off course, TPBot Edu drives perfectly straight and can travel exact distances at specific speeds. Due to its new six-axis gyroscope, it can make precise turns at any angle you want - something the original TPBot couldn't do. Plus, it now comes with a built-in lithium battery instead of replaceable batteries, making it both more environmentally friendly and more convenient since you just need to recharge it rather than keep replacing batteries.

Upgraded Lithium Battery

Let's Discover the Joy of TPBot

Multiple Remote Control Modes

You can use Bluetooth (micro:bit & PS2 controller) and Joystick:bit control the TPbot pro to drive.

Rich learning Resources

With the ELECFREAKS WIKI, grasping the essential concepts of robotics programming is a breeze. Learn, practice, and then apply these skills in the real world!

Create Your Own Design with LEGO Bricks on TPBot Edu

The pins on both sides of the car body and the raised points on the roof can be used to build personalized appearance and functional ideas using LEGO bricks.

Sufficient Expansion Accessories to Meet Advanced Creativity

TPBot has many expansion accessories that can be added to build wonderful cases.

Entertainment Mode (without micro:bit)

It can be a toy that can realize entertainment functions such as line patrol and obstacle avoidance when not plugged into the micro:bit motherboard; it can also be a teaching aid through which programming techniques can be learned.
