We spent a few weeks building a new #m5stack #robot car. Not as smooth as we thought but it starts running. Elsa and I found the wheels are not turning very well sometimes – however we used a pair of powerful Pololu motors and a very strong battery. Is it because of the weight?

New Micro:bit robot being tested!
We made it with a bigger structure, added a new universal wheel to it, and adjusted the speed a lot because we were trying to pass the line with the gap in it. It worked out okay but it didn’t improve that much.😅

New LEGO Hardware & Our M5Stack Journey
LEGO just announced the new FIRST LEGO League (Future Edition) hardware. It’s always interesting to see how these tools evolve to improve the experience for kids getting into robotics. While Elsa isn’t getting this set right now, it’s definitely something we might explore down the road.
For now, our focus is on the M5Stack that’s currently on its way to us.
I’m looking forward to seeing Elsa explore a different side of hardware—moving into a more open, industrial-style platform. It will be a great chance to compare different ways of thinking and building. Can’t wait for the mail to arrive!

Micro:bit guitar
I built this myself, isn’t it cool? If you move the adjustable panel, it will play different tunes. I even managed to play “Twinkle twinkle little star”!
