Let's Answer Your Questions
No. mBot2 Smart World 3-in-1 Add-on Pack includes only the metal parts & electronics modules (to implement the 3 robot forms: Robotic Carrier, Robotic Arm and Surveying Robot on top of the mBot2), building manual and balls (to test the Robotic's Arm's function) .To realize the Smart Farming scenario setup shown below, additional props are required. You can also refer to this guide to set up other scenarios.
mBot2 educational robots are designed for children as young as 8. For any child under the age of 8, adult help is recommended.
Each package contains all the materials needed to make one robot, such as expandable building components, electronics and toolkits.
