I'm Maqueen Plus V2, the latest version of the STEAM educational robot Maqueen Plus. Optimized with more expansion ports, larger capacity power supply, and larger body, I can be perfectly compatible with more peripheral components like HuskyLens AI camera and Maqueen Mechanic kits, which makes me an accessible STEAM robot teaching tool for primary and secondary students. I'm not only suitable for classroom teaching, but also can be used for after-school extended exercises and robot competitions.
