The Joy-Car is an autonomous robot based on micro:bit and offers a modular robotics learning kit. With the help of the detailed manual, all assemblies and their functions as a whole machine are explained, as well as details of programming and codes.

Sensors such as line tracking, ultra sonic, infrared and wheel speed sensors provide functions such as autonomous driving and even the control via Bluetooth via a second, separate micro:bit.

The additional equipment simulates indicators, lights, reversing light and horn, thus complement the experience of an autonomous robot car. With addressable LEDs, individual lighting scenarios can also be realized.
