With that said, our first choice for a micro:bit robot is the __Waveshare Alphabot__, as it has a lot of features for the money, and is probably the most durable of the micro:bit robots listed below. The DFRobot __micro:Maqueen Plus__ or __micro:Maqueen Lite__ are likewise great choices. The Plus has a lot of expansion capabilities, even an AI "smart" camera that can be trained to recognise objects and colours.
