(Download needed, no paper guide) Review: Great features with lots of support - I've been using the BBC micro:bit for a few years now and have found this to be the most capable robot featuring the micro:bit so far. You'll need to buy yourself an 18650 rechargeable battery but they're cheap and easy to get hold of. The micro:rover takes care of charging and has a battery level indicator as well as a whole host of sensors, a buzzer and 12 LEDs. I was also surprised to find how much help was available from Freenove online with PDFs manuals available for Microsoft MakeCode and Python coding. You can also download videos showing each of the sketches in the manual running on the micro:rover. The micro:rover is great value for money since the BBC micro:rover is included in the price too. Review: A great introduction to programming and robots. - Unlike other Freenove kits that I have built, the micro:rover requires minimal assembly. The BBC micro:bit is a great little device for an introduction to computers and coding. It's well worth exploring the micro:bit on its own before using with the kit. There are loads of places on the net describing other micro:bit projects also. Once you do place it in the kit along with an 18650 battery (I use nubattery.co.uk) there's plenty of new things to explore, with motors, leds, an ultrasonic sensor and infra-red line following sensors. The accompanying manual, along with downloadable code, has projects covering all the different features culminating in a program that enables you to control all of these features from your phone. My rover initially had issues with following the black line on the supplied printed oval circuit, but I contacted freenove support and they sent me a modified program that functioned perfectly. I have the kit that includes the micro:bit, but I think it might be more economical to source that separately. In my opinion this is a great introduction to programming and robots. ## Features - Multiple Functions: This car has two drive wheels, and several sensors (Battery NOT included) - 2 Sets of Codes: Block-based visual programming language code and Text-based Python code - Detailed Tutorial: Provides step-by-step assembly guide and several example projects (The download link can be found on the product box) (No paper tutorial) - Control Methods: Controlled wirelessly by your Android phone or tablet, iPhone (with Freenove App) and another micro:bit (need an extra one) - Battery NOT Included: Please refer to the downloaded tutorial to buy ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07QV5VS5W | | Battery Description | Not included | | Best Sellers Rank | 157,654 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) 280 in Kids' Electric Learning Toys | | Brand Name | FREENOVE | | Country Of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (159) | | Educational Objective | Programming Skills, Engineering, Technology | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Weight | 0.26 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Freenove | | Manufacturer Part Number | FNK0037 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year limited | | Material Type | ABS plastic | | Maximum Age Recommendation | 144 | | Model Number | FNK0037 | | Set Name | Freenove Micro:Rover Kit for BBC micro:bit (V2 Included) | | Size | Mediano | | Theme | Technology | ## Product Details - **Brand:** FREENOVE - **Educational objective:** Programming Skills, Engineering, Technology - **Item weight:** 0.26 Kilograms - **Size:** Mediano - **Theme:** Technology ## Images ![Micro:Rover Kit for BBC micro:bit (V2 Included), Obstacle Avoidance, Light-tracing, Line-tracking, Remote Control, Playing Melody, Colorful Lights, Example Projects, Blocks and Python Code - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61CcV0u2d0L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Which version of Micro:bit is included?** A: It contains the V2 version. **Q: Can not able to find battery information an you at least share the link?** A: you will need a 18650 battery **Q: Why is there such a big mark up on including the micro bit - which only costs £13.50 - although admittedly is currently sold out?** A: Because of rising product costs. **Q: Is this suitable for children?** A: Yes, very suitable, easy to assemble.

The BBC micro:bit is a great little device for an introduction to computers and coding. It's well worth exploring the micro:bit on its own before using with the kit.

He's loving it and getting a lot of learning and enjoyment out of getting it to do some of the tasks. There have been some quality issues. When we tried it, one of the motors didn't work. I noticed that it had a dry solder connection from the board to the motor, which I was able to repair. I'm disappointed that this was not picked up as a final quality check. The connector from the MicroBit to the Rover is quite flimsy and we've managed to break it already. My son was heart-broken so we've just received a replacement I bought for him as an additional purchase (which confusingly, came in a differently coloured box!). We've tried running some of the programs from the old bug on this one, but there seems to be an issue that we're still getting to the bottom of. All in all, when it is working, it's a great educational piece of kit. Currently, it is giving my son a lesson in debugging to determine if the error is in code or hardware - which is a great life lesson for a budding engineer. ## Frequently Bought Together - FREENOVE Micro:Rover Kit for BBC micro:bit (V2 Included), Obstacle Avoidance, Light-tracing, Line-tracking, Remote Control, Playing Melody, Colorful Lights, Example Projects, Blocks and Python Code - micro:bit BBC MB V2 GO V2 Go - Complete Starter Kit --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/133314224-micro-rover-kit-for-bbc-micro-bit-v2-included-obstacle](https://www.desertcart.in/products/133314224-micro-rover-kit-for-bbc-micro-bit-v2-included-obstacle) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-05-25*
