Compare mBot Series STEAM Robots vs E.a.R.L Coding Robot

Andrea Canesi, Teacher: mBot 1.0: ideal to teach coding, but also electronics and physics. It's higly expandable, you can create your sensor and use it within the robot. It's based on Arduino, it's easy to find a lot of expansions that can be built by the students. mBot Ranger: It can be used in an open environment, is robust and can be expanded as mBot 1.0. mBot 2.0: less expandable, but more precise due to the change of motors. It has a lot of sensors on board, can be connected to a wifi network and can send to and receive data from other robots or the network

Adam, Year 5 Teacher / Computing Lead: For all the reasons I have given in previous answers plus also I feel it is a very cost effective tool as well as the included planning, lessons and content ideas provided. It being less expensive than other options makes it a much easier request for funds as it has so many applications and uses not in computing but also in cross curricular situations also.
