Maqueen Mechanic - Add-On set

Transform your MaQueen Plus robot into a versatile mechanical machine with the MaQueen Mechanic Add-On Set. Designed to extend the capabilities of the MaQueen Plus (sold separately), this kit enables students to build and control robotic structures such as a loader, bulldozer, forklift, and beetle-style mechanical arm. With a range of mechanical parts and servos, learners can experiment with movement, engineering concepts, and physical computing. This hands-on set...

Why this product is beneficial for educational use:

• Expands the functionality of existing MaQueen Plus robots, encouraging creativity and design thinking
• Introduces mechanical engineering concepts through functional builds
• Supports hands-on learning of servo control and robotic mechanics
• Enhances student understanding of motion, force, and structural design
• Provides opportunities for teamwork through build-and-code challenges

Classroom ideas for incorporating this product:

• Assign students to build a specific mechanical function, such as a robotic arm or forklift, and program it to complete a task
• Use the loader or bulldozer mode to simulate real-world industrial automation scenarios
• Conduct STEM challenges where students design and code robots to perform physical tasks like moving objects or sorting items
• Integrate with maths or science lessons to explore concepts like angles, levers, or weight distribution
