Electus Full: Mbot

  • Connectivity:
  • I/O & Expansion:
  • Safety & misc:

    • Standard mBots are great for 8-year-olds learning Scratch. The Electus Full, however, targets ages 12+ to university level. The inclusion of encoder motors means you can teach PID control (Proportional-Integral-Derivative) – a college-level engineering concept. You can program the robot to drive exactly 1 meter forward and turn 90 degrees with mathematical precision, something the basic gear motors cannot do.
