Makeblock · Programmable controllers
CyberPi puts a colour display, buttons, a joystick and several sensors into a small programmable controller. Make a movement change the screen, respond to a sound or turn a light reading into a visible result. The Go Kit includes a Pocket Shield with a rechargeable battery, so a finished program can become a handheld experiment away from the computer.
Begin with blocks in mBlock and move into Python as a project needs more detail. Wi-Fi supports connected experiments, while the Pocket Shield provides motor and servo connections for later physical builds. The controller already offers plenty to explore on its own; external motors, sensors and construction kits are optional additions, and are not included in this Go Kit.

Go Kit
The Go Kit contains CyberPi, a Pocket Shield with rechargeable battery and a USB cable. It is not the controller-only product or the separate Project-Based Kit.
Use a computer to create and upload a program, then run supported uploaded projects from the Pocket Shield battery. Some live or network-based activities still need the relevant connection.
Yes. CyberPi supports visual blocks and Python in mBlock 5, allowing the same hardware to support introductory and more detailed programming activities.
No. The Pocket Shield provides connections for later projects, but external motors, servos, sensors and construction parts are sold separately.
No. It is a programmable controller with a screen, controls and onboard sensors. The Go Kit can run handheld projects; a moving robot also needs suitable motors, a chassis and other parts.
