Makeblock’s mBot ultimate 2.0 is the advanced robotics kit in the mBot series and targets users 12 years and older. The ultimate 2.0 can be built into ten preset variations. These variations let users either have fun or solve a specific problem in life, giving a preview into robot design. After building, users can control the robot via the Makeblock mobile app or write program with block-based graphical interface, Arduino IDE, NodeJS, or Python. For educators of high school and above, this is a great tool for teaching robotics class.
