Grobots Ultima Lite

Full AI & robotics, sized for one weekly session.

Ultima Lite is the kit for schools that run a single 40-minute robotics period a week — without giving up depth. Built on Micro:bit V2 with the Ultima Expansion Board, it drives up to 4 DC motors, supports AI Vision through a webcam, and takes students all the way from MakeCode to MicroPython to training their own models in Google Teachable Machine. 80+ graded activities, plug-and-play sensors over RJ11 and JST. It's suitable across Grades 5–8; its sibling, Ultima, is the choice when a school can give 80-minute sessions.

What It Builds

The Real-Hardware Step

Ultima Lite introduces sensors, inputs, and a true microcontroller — the concepts senior-grade AI projects are built on — without leaving the safety of a 40-minute period.

🧠

Micro:bit V2 fundamentals

Students program a real, industry-recognised microcontroller — buttons, LED matrix, accelerometer, and sound — the same board used worldwide for school computing.

📍

Sensors & motors

The Ultima Expansion Board adds guided RJ11 and JST ports, so connecting sensors and motors stays structured and reliable, not a free-for-all of loose wires.

🐍

First taste of Python

Students continue in MakeCode but begin seeing Python, easing the jump from block-based logic to text-based programming that fully arrives on Ultima.

Quick Answers

Common Questions

Both are micro:bit V2-based, drive up to 4 motors, support AI Vision, and run MakeCode → MicroPython → Teachable Machine with 80+ activities. The real difference is session length: Ultima Lite is for schools running one 40-minute period a week, while Ultima is for 80-minute sessions and adds MIT App Inventor plus full powder-coated SS modular metal construction. Both suit Grades 5–8.
Yes. Schools without an 80-minute lab slot can continue with Ultima Lite through Grade 8 using adapted activities, rather than moving to Ultima. We map this to your timetable in the proposal.
Yes — Micro:bit V2 is a widely used educational microcontroller. The Grobots Ultima Expansion Board sits on top of it to provide the guided, classroom-safe sensor and motor connectivity.
