≤ 1 weekShipping: 2–5 days for the Standard Kit without micro:bit (Amazon), October 19 – November 3 for others.
Remote control: MakeCode and the micro:bit Python editor run in a browser on a Mac. A computer can talk to a custom micro:bit program over USB serial or Bluetooth, which then drives the car. There is no official Python library for a laptop.

Overview

The Tiny:bit Pro is Yahboom's 2019 Tiny:bit micro:bit car with a K210 AI vision module added on a tilting bracket. The car side covers line following, ultrasonic obstacle avoidance, sound detection, a buzzer and RGB lights in MakeCode. The K210 camera module runs face, QR code and color recognition on board with its own screen, so it needs no laptop or phone for vision. The two halves use different languages, since the car codes in MakeCode or micro:bit Python while the K210 runs its own MicroPython. Similar micro:bit cars such as the ELECFREAKS Cutebot and DFRobot Maqueen Plus V3 only offer a vision camera as an extra. The car itself has no wheel encoders (unconfirmed), and Amazon US sells it for less than Yahboom's own store.
