This product has been superceded by the 4tronix Bit:Bot Pro Robot for BBC micro:bit and is no longer available.
Introducing BitBot V2, taking the much-loved BitBot to the next level. We have made several changes, some subtle, some not so subtle, to give a much-improved experience of using and working with the BitBot.
4tronix Bit:Bot XL Robot Features
- Chunky wheels with rubber tyres for maximum grip
- Microbit mounted vertically
- Line sensors no longer share pins with the Microbit buttons - removes all Bluetooth pairing issues and allows use of buttons in your code
- Pen holder is fitted as standard. Mounted directly over the pivot point for better drawing
- Indicator LEDs added for line follower sensors
- Makecode extension has been changed so code is compatible with both Classic and V2 versions
- Buzzer now connected on Pin 0 so you can play music through it
- 2 micro-metal gear motors. Motor gearboxes fully covered (minimises fluff in the gears)

- 2x analog light sensors (front left and front right): Your Bit:Bot XL can be programmed to follow a light source such as a torch, or you could code it to go and hide in the darkest place it can find.
