Makertober Day 9: Little Bits Space Rover Cheap

Less of an “I’ve built this” and more of a “You should buy and build this” post.

I’ve spent a big chunk of today playing with LittleBits. They are awesome fun. Little electronic components that click together with magnets. Great if you happen to have a three year old to keep busy. Which I did.

I had a look to see if there were any new kits out there and I’ve discovered that they are selling Space Rover Inventor kits on Amazon for the silly price of 20 pounds. For that you get a controller you can drive from your phone via Bluetooth, two motors, a servo, a proximity detector and a bunch of other things. Well worth a look.
