Hallo,
We would like to get our boy his first robotics set. He has already played with Snap Circuits electronic circuit boards and advanced building sets. He also does Scratch and started playing with Python coding… He is 8 years old.
I have been looking into the great Makeblock kits and are not sure which is currently the better and most up-to-date set of the following two:
mBot Ultimate 2.0
mBot Ranger 3-in-1
I noticed the following:
The mBot Ultimate 2.0 has the MegaPi whereas the mBot Ranger has the ‘newer’ Me Auriga.
It also seems that the Me Auriga has different accessories (sensors) available, which all seem newer than the ones for the MegaPi unit. The sensors are not compatible it seems?
I would really appreciate if you can get back to me as soon as possible as I would like to order the kit. Important for us is that the kit is up-to-date and current so that he can grow with it and expand as he’d like. The initial cost of the kit is not a factor, it is more important that the kit is current and expandable so that he can use it for the coming years…
Thanks,
Andrew
