A top-tier educational robot we recommend without hesitation
In our independent assessment, the Makeblock mBot2 earns 83/100 — an excellent educational robot.
Its strongest area is coding depth (96/100), followed by connectivity (94/100). In practice, affordable.
The main caveat is age range, where it scores 78/100. Specifically, some assembly.
