Full Product Description

Interactive STEM Learning Through Wooden Robotics

Bring coding to life with a hands-on, tactile building experience. The Keyestudio Greeting Robot Kit bridges the gap between software programming and mechanical engineering. Designed for primary and secondary school students, this kit uses precision laser-cut basswood panels that easily slot together. Students will learn how to assemble a functional robot chassis, wire up electronic sensors, and write code that makes the robot interact with its environment.

Ultrasonic Detection & Servo Movement

This isn't just a static wooden toy. The kit includes an SR01 Ultrasonic Sensor that acts as the robot's "eyes," detecting when a person or object approaches within 15-35cm. Once triggered, the code activates the two included micro servos, allowing the robot to lift its arms and wave in a friendly greeting (0~90° angle range). It is a perfect, engaging introduction to input/output logic and automated robotics.

Paint and Customize Your Creation

Encourage both left-brain logic and right-brain creativity! The natural basswood exterior acts as a blank canvas. Kids can use markers, acrylic paints, or stickers (paint not included) to draw faces, clothes, or custom graffiti on their robot, making every single build completely unique.

💡 Pro Tip from Our Technicians

"CRITICAL NOTE: This specific kit (KS0809) includes the expansion board, sensors, and wooden frame, but DOES NOT include the main processing board. You must provide your own Micro:bit V2 or ESP32 Easy Coding Board to make it work! If you are a parent buying this as a gift and aren't sure which board to get, drop by our Sham Shui Po store. Our team at Sun Cheong Computer Co. Ltd. highly recommends the Micro:bit V2 for beginners using MakeCode. We can help you pick up the missing board and show you how to safely assemble the wooden joints without snapping them!"

FAQ Section

Does this kit come with the Micro:bit motherboard?No, this specific SKU (KS0809) does not include the main motherboard. It includes the wooden chassis, expansion shield, servos, and sensors. You will need to purchase a Micro:bit V2 or an ESP32 Easy Coding Board separately to program and operate the robot.
Is this robot kit suitable for a 9-year-old with no coding experience?Yes, absolutely! The robot supports Microsoft MakeCode and KidsBlock 3.0, which use intuitive, drag-and-drop graphical blocks (similar to Scratch). It is designed specifically for primary and junior high students to learn coding basics without needing to type complex syntax.
Do I need a soldering iron to assemble this?No soldering is required. The kit uses a custom expansion board and standard 4P DuPont wires for plug-and-play connections. The wooden frame is assembled using the included screws, nuts, and a mini screwdriver.
