Gift Configuration Analysis
You have selected a high-performance configuration. The following report analyzes the compatibility, educational value, and missing components of your current shopping cart for two intelligent 6 & 7-year-olds.
Cart Status: Functional*
Configuration is valid for a single shared advanced robot.
Q: Do I need more than one "Brain"?
No.
You only need 1 micro:bit (the brain) to run the robot. The HuskyLens has its own internal processor, but it sends data to the micro:bit. Your cart contains exactly what is needed for one robot.
Q: Will this create a workable robot?
Yes.
The Maqueen Plus V2 + micro:bit V2 + HuskyLens is a complete autonomous robotics platform. It can move, see, line-follow, and run AI models.
⚠️ Critical Missing Item
18650 Li-ion Battery & Charger
The SKU MBT0021-EN-18650 is the chassis *designed* for an 18650 battery, but due to shipping regulations, batteries are almost never included in the box.

Your nephews will be exposed to these core engineering domains.
The "Immediate Gratification" Strategy
To ensure they don't get frustrated on Christmas morning (or whenever they receive this), follow this deployment strategy. The HuskyLens is amazing but complex; the robot itself is instant fun.
Step 1: The Remote Control Car (Day 1)
Don't code immediately. Use the Maqueen's pre-programmed ability or a simple "MakeCode" download to let them drive it using the buttons on the micro:bit or an iPad via Bluetooth. Goal: Excitement.
Step 2: Line Following (Week 1)
The Maqueen has built-in floor sensors. A simple block of code makes it follow a black tape line on the floor. Goal: "I programmed it!"
Step 3: The AI Eye (Month 2)
Introduce the HuskyLens. Teach it to recognize their faces (it learns with one button press). Make the robot say "Hello" (display icon) when it sees Nephew A. Goal: Advanced Magic.
