mBot2 Standard Coding Box

My kid figured out the obstacle avoidance sensor on his own the first afternoon, which never happens with his other toys. The block coding interface is simple enough that he's already building his own little projects without asking me for help.

The line-following mode actually works on our uneven kitchen tile, which surprised me. My daughter figured out the obstacle avoidance blocks in one afternoon and now she's begging to build the next project herself.

My kid spent a whole rainy Saturday getting the obstacle avoidance to work, and the look on his face when it finally dodged the couch was worth it. The coding projects build up gradually, so he was actually learning instead of just copying steps.
