Description
The Mobility Vehicles Mechatronics Bundle brings together two vehicle-inspired builds—the Helicopter and the Green Car—to help students explore different approaches to powered motion using motors, gears, and mechanical structures.
This bundle includes one C2G Mini Microcontroller, which is installed and reused across both builds. As students transition between models, they learn how the same programmable controller can produce very different types of motion depending on mechanical design and configuration.
Through the Helicopter build, learners investigate controlled rotational motion driven by a motorized assembly. The Green Car introduces a distinct drivetrain concept, allowing students to explore how motors can be used to produce forward movement through a different mechanical layout.
Key learning concepts include:
-
Motor-driven motion and actuation
-
Mechanical power transfer through gears and axles
-
Comparing different vehicle-style movement systems
-
Reusing and reprogramming a controller across builds
The Mobility Vehicles Mechatronics Bundle encourages experimentation and comparison, helping students develop a deeper understanding of how mechanical design choices affect movement. It is well suited for classrooms, clubs, and makerspaces looking to introduce foundational mechatronics concepts through hands-on, build-focused exploration.
