Maqueen Plus V3 - Advanced Matrix Laser Navigation STEM Robot for Competitions (AA Battery)

The Maqueen Plus V3 is a programmable educational robot commonly powered by a micro:bit controller, setting new standards for STEM education and robotics competitions. Designed for dynamic tasks, it integrates a powerful matrix laser ranging sensor, high-precision motor encoders with PID control, and complex built-in algorithms for sophisticated line-tracking and intersection recognition.

The matrix laser ranging sensor provides unmatched environmental perception. It offers superior accuracy and rapid response over a 60-degree field of view, enabling the robot to detect distances and pinpoint obstacle positions. This advanced capability allows the robot to execute intelligent route planning and obstacle avoidance for autonomous movement.

Built-in algorithms make advanced tasks manageable. The efficient line-tracking system enables students to focus on strategy rather than basics. The intersection recognition features can identify various junction types, facilitating complex map-based challenges and enhancing competition diversity without using the main controller.

High-precision motor encoders with PID control ensure accurate movement. Unlike many educational robots, the Maqueen Plus V3 delivers reliable performance in tasks that require precise navigation, making it ideal for both learning and competitive environments.

The robot's enhanced light interaction capabilities, including dual light intensity sensors, make applications like light-seeking intuitive. Programmable RGB headlights and ambient lights add elements of creativity, elevating the learning experience.

A detachable metal motor design addresses maintenance challenges. After rigorous testing, motors were selected for optimal performance, and potential wear issues are mitigated by easy motor replacement. A voltage-stabilizing chip maintains consistent speed despite battery voltage decline, ensuring programs run smoothly without frequent adjustments.
