The Entry-level education robot kit. mBot is a STEM education robot for beginners. mBot makes robot learning and programming easier, quicker and fun for educators and for the students.Children can built a robot using just a screwdriver as mBot contains a step-by-step instruction guide which can easily accommodated in the study schedule.
Gradually they will learn different types of robotic machinery and electronics parts. It will sharpen the grip over fundamentals of block based programming, this will help them develop their designing and logical thinking skills.
mBot is an all-in-one solution to enjoy the hands-on experience of programming, electronics, and robotics. Working with mBlock inspired by Scratch 2.0 , connecting with computers or smart devices via Bluetooth , this easy-to-assemble mBot provides infinite possibilities for you to learn STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics).
mBot has 4 expansion ports, and can connect to more than 100 kinds of electronic modules. Children can use a variety of add-on packs and more than 500 parts on the Maker’s Platform to build a variety of imaginative shapes. During construction, they will learn about the principles of electronics and mechanics and lay the foundations for understanding robots. mBot is also compatible with modular bricks meaning game play can continue to grow over time.3D building tutorials improve children’s spatial intelligence

AustraliaMbot Little educational toy
Great for classroom teaching coding and robotics
AustraliaThrilled
I am very impressed with the capabilities of the mBot, It’s functionality is suited to my 9Y old grand daughter. It’s capabilities are endless. What impressed me the most is the service I received from the company, in particular Pakronics when I had an issue with the firmware. They bent over backwards to help me resolve my problem. They definitely get a 10 out of 10 for service.
AustraliaExcellent
My 9yr old daughter loves it
AustraliaMbot: Some niggles
Connection over Bluetooth is a hassle in windows 10 as the windows doesn’t connect the mbot straight away. It only works if the standard windows Bluetooth driver is replaced with some Bluetooth 4 driver. A kid would not be able to take up those extra procedures. Secondly, the mblock for iPads doesn’t have all the blocks for coding that are available in mblock in windows. So, mblock has limited coding ability in iPads. Thirdly, the USB Bluetooth adapter should have been included as part of the purchase of mblock else there should not have been the Bluetooth compatibility issue without the adapter.

Thank you for taking time writing review, mbot does come with bluetooth dongle version - https://www.pakronics.com.au/products/mbot-v1-1-blue-bluetooth-with-bluetooth-dongle-mbp1050011?_pos=1&_sid=23a51ba87&_ss=r as well you can buy it separately, https://pakronics.com.au/products/bluetooth-dongle-mb-p5010002 . The Android and IoS have their own restriction and mobile app are different from PC app as PC app have access to more programming language as well have capacity to do complex coding. You can start mobile/table app for introduction and when you are teaching complex function you can go to PC device. Many of primary school don't go into PC app. Let me know if you need further assistance or have any questions. Pakronics
