Overview

Hands-On Robotics Engineering

The Rocky Robot Car is built around a durable metal chassis and programmable controller. Students assemble the car using the included building guide and connect sensors and motors to create a fully functional robotics system. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The system includes:

Ultrasonic sensor (distance detection 5–300cm)
5-in-1 grayscale sensor for line tracking
Integrated RGB LED and buzzer
Remote control unit

Autonomous Modes

Rocky supports built-in robotics behaviours including:

Line Following Mode – Automatically follows a track using grayscale sensors
Obstacle Avoidance Mode – Detects and responds to objects using ultrasonic sensing
Remote Control Mode – Manual navigation via controller

These features allow teachers to introduce autonomous systems, sensing, control logic and real-world robotics challenges.

App-Based Coding & Programming

Rocky can be programmed using the WhalesBot software platform, allowing students to move beyond preset modes and design their own logic sequences and behaviours.

This makes Rocky ideal for:

Upper Primary STEM modules
Coding clubs and competitions
Project-based robotics challenges
Transitioning to advanced robotics systems

Power & Charging

Rechargeable 3.7V 2000mAh lithium battery (controller)
Charging via USB Type-C
Remote control requires 3 × AAA batteries (not included)

ElecFreaks Smart Cutebot Pro – Advanced Robot Car for STEAM Learning

The ElecFreaks Smart Cutebot Pro is a programmable robot car designed for STEAM education. It comes equipped with upgraded features such as 4 infrared line-tracking sensors, high-precision encoder motors, an RGB LED light strip, an ultrasonic sensor, and more. With enhanced motor control and multiple expansion options, the Cutebot Pro offers students a more immersive and precise robotics experience.

Closed-Loop Motor for Greater Accuracy
Compared to the original Cutebot, the Pro version features upgraded closed-loop motors. These allow for more accurate execution of commands, enabling precise distance control and smooth, calculated turns during movement.

Enhanced Line Tracking with 4 Sensors
The Pro version includes four infrared sensors, enabling it to follow more complex paths such as crossroads and T-junctions. The data from these sensors can be processed as analog input to support advanced tracking techniques like PID control. It can also be combined with additional sensors and components to unlock more learning scenarios.

Built-In Lithium Battery Support
Now powered by a built-in lithium battery box, the Cutebot Pro eliminates the need for an external battery expansion pack. It supports a 3.7V 18650 Lithium-Ion Rechargeable Battery (2.6Ah), extending operational time and making it suitable for more demanding projects.

Flexible Expansion Options
The Cutebot Pro includes additional motor ports and multiple mounting points for structural parts. This allows for the integration of extra components such as robotic arms or custom mechanical features—perfect for creating interactive or competitive robot builds.

Note: micro:bit and battery not included.
