The micro:bit board

This page is devoted to robots based on the BBC Micro:Bit board, a pocket-sized computer that you can code, customise and control. Now, the Micro:Bit can be used for things beyond robotics, but we're here exploring robots based on the board...

From the micro:bit page on Wikipedia:

The Micro Bit (also referred to as BBC Micro Bit, stylized as micro:bit) is an open source hardware ARM-based embedded system designed by the BBC for use in computer education in the UK.

The device is described as half the size of a credit card and has an ARM Cortex-M0 processor, accelerometer and magnetometer sensors, Bluetooth and USB connectivity, a display consisting of 25 LEDs, two programmable buttons, and can be powered by either USB or an external battery pack. The device inputs and outputs are through five ring connectors that form part of a larger 25-pin edge connector.
