Three Easy Robots Made with BBC Micro:Bit and Cardboard

❌ 🏳️ 🐰 In this video, you will learn how to build three simple robots from cardboard using only scissors, screwdriver, nuts and bolts and rubber band. The electronics used is BBC Micro:Bit and one micro servo motor. These robots are designed with simplicity and accessibility in mind, perfect for students 10-15 years old.

I want to do these projects. I don't see these in your course in your website. I want to take these course. How can I contact?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey, you can find my video course for teachers here: cardboard.lofirobot.com/courses/microbit-robotics-for-teachers/ for contact please reach me at [e-mail]

[@annawong6652]

Hi, can you please share the code for second project? Thank you

[@AarthiMuthukrishnan]

Hello - These videos are great and I would love to use them in my tinkering club. Could you share any templates as well as the specifications for the screws and the battery pack you use for the Micro:bit please?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey @Aarthi, thanks :-) You can find specification at cardboard.lofirobot.com

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

As for templates, they are in the begining of each video, except this one as i thought theese basic models are self explanatory

[@AarthiMuthukrishnan]

@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS - thank you! are these all servo motors that go 180 degrees? How do you get the first one (windmill) to rotate 360 degrees? Also, it looks like you don't use the battery pack that comes with the Micro:bit. Can you tell me what you use instead?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

I use two types of servos: 180deg and 360deg. They have to be compatible with 3,3 voltage signal (most servos work on 5 volts). For Micro:Bit I use Elecfreaks RingBit v2 adapter. But it is very easy to adapt all of these designs to any other microcontroller as long as it can drive a micro servo.

What materials did you use?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

3mm caedboard, nuts and bolts, rubber bands, micro:bit with ring:bit adapter, micro servo

Can you send the link to the microbit page with the entire page for each step?The first(fan)

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey. Please explain more what you need exactly. Steps for building or coding instructions?

​@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS coding please

[@chiquitas2122]

How I can make the code? The first

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

It is basic servo control: support.microbit.org/support/solutions/articles/19000101864-using-a-servo-with-the-micro-bit
