6 Unique Sensors to Program With

Every Rover ships with the same six sensors, all readable from blocks or Python. Real data, real feedback, no extras to plug in.

Ultrasonic

Distance

Measure distance to objects up to 2 m away

Colour

3 sensors

Detect colours and line markings on the ground

Infrared

2 sensors

Short-range proximity on left and right

Accelerometer

3-axis

Sense tilt, impacts, and orientation changes

Gyroscope

3-axis

Track rotation and angular velocity

Battery

Real-time

Monitor voltage and current as your code runs

Built for the Classroom

Tough hardware, simple to teach with, ready for a class set on day one.

No Experience Needed

Teachers don't need coding experience to run lessons. Drag-and-drop blocks, guided activities, and classroom controls make it easy to get started.

Built for Hard Use

Built for Hard Use

A sealed plastic shell with no exposed electronics. Designed in Australia to survive years of classroom drops, knocks, and sticky fingers.

Class Set Ready

Class Set Ready

6 hours of battery covers a full school day. Class sets ship in a hard carry case with a built-in charging dock, so ten Rovers charge from a single outlet.

From Blocks to Python

The Micromelon Rover is the hardware students use at every stage, from simplified blocks in Junior to professional Python.
