Brand: ELECFREAKS
The robot car that grows with your child, from first block of code to autonomous navigation
Complete your purchase:
The 19 official tutorial cases are designed to build on each other. Your child starts by programming the robot to drive forward, then gradually takes on more complex challenges: controlling exact distances, responding to sound, following lines, and finally implementing a real PID control algorithm. Every step has sample code and clear explanations on the free ELECFREAKS wiki, so they can learn independently without needing you to be a coding expert.
Built for learners who are ready for more than basic driving.
Precise control of distance and turning angle. Your child can programme the robot to drive exactly 50cm or turn precisely 90°, which opens up grid navigation, geometric paths, and accurate autonomous driving.
Four infrared sensors detect complex intersections like crossroads and T-junctions. They also support PID line inspection, a real-world algorithm used in industrial robotics.
The sensor measures distance to objects in real time for autonomous obstacle avoidance and follow-me behaviour. It's the same technology behind parking sensors and driver assistance systems.
The built-in 18650 battery charges via any USB cable in about 2 hours, so no disposable batteries are ever needed.
The robot works with Bluetooth, an infrared remote, a Joystick:bit gamepad, or a second micro:bit tilted as a controller. Your child can start with a remote and work up to fully autonomous programmes.
Attach the ultrasonic sensor, add the battery, and you're coding within 10 minutes. No assembly required.
Four servo ports, four GPIO outputs, an I2C connector, and mounting holes for building blocks make the Cutebot Pro a proper platform. Your child can attach a mechanical claw to pick up objects, build a forklift with Lego-compatible blocks, connect an AI camera to recognise road signs, or create a ball-launching vehicle. These aren't hypothetical. ELECFREAKS provides complete tutorials for every one of those builds. When your child runs out of challenges, there's always a next level.
From 'Drive Forward' to autonomous obstacle avoidance and AI vision
The core projects progress from basic motor control to advanced sensor integration. Here are six that show the range.
Write your first programme to move the robot forward at a set speed and duration.
Learn: Motor control, speed, timing
The robot responds to clapping or noise, and louder sounds make it go faster.
Learn: Sensor input, conditional logic, real-time data
Programme dynamic colour effects across the onboard RGB LEDs while the robot drives.
Learn: RGB control, colour theory, synchronisation
The robot uses its light sensors to detect a light source and steer towards it.
Learn: Light sensing, conditionals, sensor-driven navigation
The robot detects obstacles with its ultrasonic sensor and steers around them autonomously.
Learn: Ultrasonic sensor, autonomy, decision-making
Advanced smooth line-following using a proportional-integral-derivative control algorithm.
Learn: PID algorithm, 4-way sensors, parameter tuning
Plus 13 more projects including Automatic Headlights, Follow the Car at a Fixed Distance, Walk the Grid, and extended builds like a Mechanical Claw, Forklift, and AI Road Signs Cart
