This robot is suitable for autonomous operation, remote control projects via a BLUETOOTH® application, or control using a second micro:bit. The :MOVE Mini Buggy Kit is propelled by two continuous rotation servo motors whose speed can be controlled by altering the PWM signal. This can be done using the servo blocks in the Microsoft MakeCode block editor.
