The Robium Mini is the ultimate programmable robotic car, designed to inspire young innovators aged 8+. Perfect for both beginners and aspiring coders, this car makes learning robotics fun and accessible.


Equipped with a Time-of-Flight sensor for precise object detection and distance measurement, as well as customizable RGB lights, the Robium Mini brings creativity and technology together. Powered by a versatile LoLin board, programmed using RobiumCode, a beginner-friendly block-based coding platform that makes it easy (and fun!) to learn the logic behind programming and hardware control.

Perfectly suited for kids and teens, the Robium Mini builds creativity, problem-solving, and technical skills. It’s an engaging way to step into the exciting world of robotics and programming.
