With this Bulldozer add-on for :MOVE mini for the BBC microbit, everyone's favourite
little programmable robot buggy just got much better. Robots often do more than just
:MOVE from A to B, and with this add-on so can :MOVE mini.
Previously on :MOVE mini, we; drew shapes, controlled it via bluetooth, controlled it
with a second microbit, and we also coded a variety of light shows. Now, it can totally lift
and carry stuff too!
This self assembly bulldozer add-on kit is made from the same materials as :MOVE
mini, designed in keeping with the :MOVE mini aesthetic, and also comes with the servo
required to move the bulldozer add-on up and down.
There is a very simple Servo:Lite board hack that enables the control of the third servo,
you can find out how here. Once the kit is fully assembled, the bulldozer arm can be
coded with the Microsoft MakeCode Editor.
