The Joy-Car is an autonomous education robot based on Micro:Bit and offers a modular robotics learning kit. Sensors such as line-tracking, ultrasonic, infrared, and wheel rotation sensors enable functions like autonomous driving and even control via Bluetooth with a second, separate Micro:Bit. The additional features simulate turn signals, lights, reverse lights, and a horn, completing the experience of an autonomous robot car. By using addressable LEDs, individual lighting scenarios can be realized.

The Joy-Car is ideally suited for exploring topics in electronics and programming and has been specifically designed for use in schools. In collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute, the Joy-Car has been integrated into the Open Roberta platform. This makes it immediately usable for everyone, even without programming knowledge, and guarantees a lot of fun without frustration, with results that are visible right away. This is particularly advantageous for classroom use, as the effort required from teaching staff is minimized.

A comprehensive guide is available that explains programming in MakeCode and MicroPython. Additionally, information, tips, and a forum for questions, problems, and ideas are provided.
