What Can The Mega-Bot Do?

View in Shop!

Creator Board Mega Microcontroller: Premium open-source Arduino based platform featuring 54 digital input/output pins, and 16 analog inputs.

Motor Driver: Dual motor controller module allows you to control the speed and direction of two DC motors. Space themed challenges test your knowledge!

Ultrasonic Sensors: Three ultrasonic sensors provide front and peripheral vision for truly optimal performance. Ultrasonic sensors measure distance by using ultrasonic waves. The sensor emits an ultrasonic wave and receives the wave reflected back from an object. Ultrasonic sensors are used to help the Creator Bot avoid obstacles.

Line Sensors: Two line sensors provide optimal performance when following a path. The sensors detect reflected light coming from its own infrared LED.

Breadboard: Fundamental component in learning to build circuits. The breadboard is an optimal way to learn circuits and basic engineering! LEDs, Buttons, Switches, Potentiometers, and more can be plugged into the breadboard to create complete circuits!

Wireless Remote Control: Code your video-game remote controlled buttons and joysticks for full multi-direction control and to power lights, sounds, and more!

Touch Sensor: Tactile sensors and are sensitive to touch, force or pressure. Code your touch sensor to control your lights, sounds, and more.

LCD Screen: Back light display can show two rows with up to 16 characters and many shapes on each row - code it to display any message you want!

Voice Recorder and Speaker: Record anything with the simple press of a button! record sounds, music, and your own voice!

Fan Motors: Fan motors can be activated when doing a variety of tasks.

7 Segment Display: Display different digits to make fun gadgets like a timer, clock, or rolling dice!

Relay: Relays are used to control devices that require more than 5 volts to operate. The RGB LED Panel requires 12 volts to operate. Using a relay, you can control the state of your rainbow matrix!

What's In the Box?

Learning Management System (LMS): The Creator Mega-Bot comes with 160+ hours of content. The instructions for this robot can be accessed at www.kidslovecode.com once you receive your access code.

University Accredited: The Mega Bot course curriculum is a UC accredited course under Computer Science, and in partnership with your high school, can be offered by partner schools to your students for A - G course credits.

Line Programming: Program the Creator Mega-Bot with a text-based program called Arduino IDE. While also similar to C++, the Arduino IDE language is a simple coding language to learn, and uses Arduino code to program the robot.

Self-Paced or Teacher Led: The curriculum can be completely self-paced or taught by a teacher, whether by a Creator Bot partner school, camp, or after school program, or through one of our own Virtual Classes that can be signed up for in our Shop.
