A smart coding car to teach early programming skills. Preset functions work out of the box, and it can be used as an educational aid when you add amicro:bit board (not included) and code it using Microsoft MakeCode.

Pins on either side of the car body and the studs on the roof can be used to customise TPBot visually and add functionality using LEGO bricks.

Get started right away with step-by-step tutorials and project guides available on the ELECFREAKS Wiki. Follow easy instructions to programme some basic functions, and then apply those skills to your own creative projects.
