Our Verdict: The best value entry-level coding robot. Building it teaches as much as programming it.
The Makeblock mBot Neo is an entry-level educational robot kit that kids build themselves, learning about electronics and mechanics before they even start coding. Powered by the CyberPi controller with a colour display, it supports both block-based and Python programming through the mBlock platform.
Multiple sensors (ultrasonic, light, gyroscope) and expansion ports make it a versatile learning platform that grows with the student.
