A friend bought a mini robot for his son.
But it didn’t work as it should.
No way i let this opportunity pass to play with it!
This is the one:

Maqueen Plus V2 – Geavanceerde STEM Educatie Robot voor micro:bit
https://wiki.dfrobot.com/SKU_MBT0021-EN_Maqueen_Plus_STEAM_Programming_Educational_Robot#target_0
So you can program this in a blockly like manner.
Problems we encountered:
- Uploading didn’t work
Solution: Using chrome it had access to the usb port to upload, firefox didn’t work - The program didn’t compile, faulty or zero size hex file.
Solution: Wrong Maqueen library was in the examples
(After changing, needed version update also, see below) - Not everything is in Dutch (I like English, but this is for the boy), maqueen V2 needed a lot of translation.
(So we joined https://crowdin.com/project/makecode/nl to help translating the libraries)
Apparently my AI camera can be connected to this robot!
