Say Hello
Hello, my name’s Max:Bot. I’m made of a car body, two wheels, a main board, a Micro:bit,
a ultrasonic sensor, a 3-channel line-tracking sensor and two crash sensors (see Figure
1). I was disassembled into many small parts for the convenience of transportation. Can
you reassemble me into a car according to this manual?
