Dragon Knight Makeblock Robot

Dragon Knight Makeblock programmable robot

The Dragon Knight robot from Makeblock is a fantastic quadruped robot that moves with great precision thanks to its 8 servo motors. It can walk forward and backward, do push-ups and many other interesting actions! When turned over, the robot's legs also turn and it walks normally according to the commands provided.

This robot contains at least 50 mechanical parts and 8 servo motors used to perform different actions and movements, controlled by the bluetooth remote control. The Dragon Knight also has a built-in ultrasonic distance sensor, which allows it to avoid obstacles if programmed.

Programming can be done using the mBlock software from MakeBlock. It features drag-and-drop graphical programming developed on the basis of Scratch 2.0, which offers a quick way to learn programming, control the robot and perform various functions from it.

Scratch is a program developed by MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA), which does not require any prior programming knowledge. Thanks to this user-friendly and intuitive software, children and adults alike can take their first steps in robotics and programming by building a real robot that can be configured endlessly. With Scratch, you can easily start programming the Dragon Knight by Makeblock, from simple commands to more complex tasks. You will also be able to program the robot via the Arduino IDE.
