1. تعارف
The Makeblock mBot Ranger 3-in-1 Robotics Kit is an advanced-level educational robot designed for children aged 8-12. This versatile kit allows users to build and program three distinct robot forms: the Land Raider (a robot tank), the Nervous Bird (a self-balancing robot), and the Dashing Raptor (a three-wheeled racing car).
It integrates engineering and coding principles, fostering creativity, logical thinking, and problem-solving skills through hands-on construction and programming. The kit supports both Scratch and Arduino programming languages, providing a comprehensive learning experience from beginner to expert levels via the mBlock5 Programming App.

2. سيٽ اپ ۽ اسيمبلي
The mBot Ranger kit is designed for easy and fun assembly, allowing children and parents to build together. Clear instructions are provided to guide the construction process for each of the three robot forms.
2.1 Building the Robot Forms
The kit offers three distinct robot configurations:
- Land Raider: A robust robot tank capable of navigating various terrains.
- Nervous Bird: A self-balancing robot that maintains stability through movement.
- Dashing Raptor: A fast, three-wheeled racing car.

3. Operating the mBot Ranger
The mBot Ranger can be controlled and programmed using the Makeblock App (mBlock5) on a smartphone or tablet. The app offers various preset programs and a block-based coding interface for custom programming.
3.1 Control Modes and Presets
The Makeblock App includes several preset control modes, allowing immediate interaction with the robot without prior programming. These modes include:
- وائس ڪنٽرول
- Racing Car (for Dashing Raptor)
- Draw and Run
- Avoid Obstacle
- Line Following
- Drive (for general movement)
- موسيقار
- Nervous Bird (for self-balancing mode)

3.2 Programming with mBlock5
For advanced users, the mBlock5 Programming App allows for custom programming using a block-based visual interface (similar to Scratch) or text-based Arduino C. This enables users to create complex behaviors and interactions for their mBot Ranger.
The Me Auriga mainboard is equipped with various sensors and extension ports, enhancing programming possibilities:
- الٽراسونڪ سينسر
- Line-tracking sensor
- 2 light sensors
- Gyroscope سينسر
- 12 آر بي جي ايل
- بزر
- درجه حرارت سينسر
- بلوٽيوٽ ماڊل

4. سار سنڀال
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your Makeblock mBot Ranger, regular maintenance is recommended:
- صفائي: Regularly wipe down the robot's exterior with a dry, soft cloth to remove dust and debris. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
- بيٽري جي سنڀال: Remove batteries if the robot will not be used for an extended period to prevent leakage. Use high-quality AA batteries or rechargeable lithium batteries.
- اجزاء جي چڪاس: Periodically inspect all connections, screws, and moving parts (wheels, tracks) to ensure they are secure and free from obstruction. Tighten any loose screws.
- اسٽوريج: Store the robot and its components in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
5. مسئلا حل ڪرڻ
If you encounter issues with your mBot Ranger, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- روبوٽ پاور نه ٿي رهيو آهي:
- Check if batteries are inserted correctly and have sufficient charge.
- Ensure the power switch on the Me Auriga mainboard is in the ON position.
- بلوٽوٿ ڪنيڪشن جا مسئلا:
- Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your device (smartphone/tablet).
- Make sure the robot is within Bluetooth range.
- Restart both the robot and the Makeblock App.
- If issues persist, try updating the robot's firmware via the mBlock5 PC application (requires USB connection).
- Robot Not Moving/Responding:
- Verify all motor connections to the mainboard are secure.
- Check for any physical obstructions preventing movement (e.g., tangled wires, debris in tracks/wheels).
- Ensure the program loaded onto the robot is correct and running.
- سينسر جي خرابي:
- Check sensor connections to the mainboard.
- Clean sensor surfaces if they are dirty or obstructed.
- Test sensors using the diagnostic tools within the mBlock5 App.
For more detailed troubleshooting or persistent issues, refer to the official Makeblock support resources or contact customer service.
