Description
The Motorcycle Mechatronics Kit introduces students to motor-driven motion through a compact, wheeled build powered by a C2G Mini Microcontroller. The motor drives the rear wheels, while a single front wheel provides directional support, creating a clear and intuitive example of how powered and unpowered components work together in a mechanical system.
As students assemble the motorcycle, they explore how motors transfer energy to wheels and how wheel placement affects movement and stability. Programming the microcontroller allows students to control when the rear wheels engage, adjust speed, and experiment with timing, directly connecting code to physical motion.
This kit is well-suited for demonstrating concepts such as drivetrain design, rotational motion, and mechanical balance. Younger students can focus on basic motion and cause-and-effect, while older students can investigate how different programming choices influence performance and control.
The Motorcycle Mechatronics Kit combines mechanical construction with hands-on coding, giving students a practical introduction to powered movement and system design in a simple yet engaging format.
