Camera Dolly
Camera Dolly consists of a mobile chassis and a 360-degree swivel base. Add a smart phone or a camera onto this robot and start
filming from a low angle. You can also preset a path for the robot to follow in order to capture the moments of your life. (Motion noise
may affect the sound recording.)
Robotic Arm Tank
This Robot Arm Tank consists of a highly-adaptable track chassis and a flexible robotic arm. This robot is designed to help you grip, lift,
and deliver objects in various terrains.
Beverage Robot
Beverage Robot is made up of a mobile chassis, a variable angle support structure and a self-adaptive bracket. It can independently
pour beverage into a glass (or do other similar action) and deliver the glass to you.

MegaPi is a main control board specially designed for makers and also an ideal option for being applied
to education field and all kinds of matches. It is based on Arduino MEGA 2560 and supports program-
ming with Arduino IDE perfectly. MegaPi can be divided into 6 function area, allowing you to connect
with various plug-in modules to drive motors and sensor and to realize wireless communication. MegaPi
has strong motor-driving ability which is capable of driving 10 servos or 8 DC motors simultaneously. It is
the ideal option for various robotic projects, such as smart robot car and 3D printer.

Gyro Sensor is a motion-processsing module. It can be used to measure the angular rate and the acceleration information of your robot or other devices. This gyro
sensor is developed based on MPU-6050, which is capable of processing complex 9-axis Motion Fusion algorithms by combining a 3-axis gyroscope, 3-axis acceler-
ometer, and a Digital Motion ProcessorTM(DMP). You can build a self-balance robot using the Gyro Sensor with encoder motor.
Ultrasonic module is a kind of electronic module to measure distance, and the measurement range is 3 cm to 400 cm. It is used for obstacle avoidance car as well
as other projects. This module can be connected to the port with yellow tag on mainboard.

Me Line Follower Sensor
Me Shutter
Me Line Follower is designed for the line-following robots. It has two sensors on the module and each sensor contains two parts - an IR emitting diode and an IR
sensitive phototransistor. You can program the robot to reliably follow a black line on a white background, or vice versa.
Me Shutter is a special module designed to implement auto-photographing for digital SLR camera. Users can use it to take high-speed photos, or take time-lapse
video and photo through controlling time exposure. This module can be connected to the port with blue tag on the mainboard. Specific cable is required when
connecting camera with this module.

※With many parts contained in this product, please assemble the Ultimate2.0 exactly as the steps in this instruction to avoid confusion.
Pay especially attention to the mark of "O" and "X". Make sure you are doing exactly as required by the diagram marked with "O", other-
wise the parts may be broken and the robot may fail to work normally.

Battery Information
Ultimate 2.0 requires six 1.5V AA alkaline batteries (Not included).
IMPORTANT BATTERY INFORMATION:
• Use only fresh batteries of the required size and recommended type.
• Please respect the correct polarity, (+) and (-).
• Do not try to recharge non-rechargeable batteries.
• Do not throw batteries into fire.
• Replace all batteries of the same type/brand at the same time.
• The supply terminals are not to be short-circuited.
• Batteries should be replaced by adults.
• Remove batteries if the robot is not going to be played with for some time.
LOW BATTERY INDICATORS:
Basic Knowledge -- Electronic Modules Basic Knowledge -- Assembly Tip
The Me RJ25 Adapter module converts the standard RJ25 port into six pins (VCC, GND, S1, S2, SDA, and SCL) so that they can be easily drawn out from Makeblock
port in compatible with electronic modules from other manufacturers, such as temperature sensor and servo module.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or use different types of batteries.
When the batteries grow weak, Ultimate 2.0 robot kit will move
much slower than usual, or even restart its mainboard. At this
time, power off the robot and replace all batteries.
