Meowbit can be used in conjunction with a Robotbit to achieve even more possibilities.

Robotbit Precautions:

1: The battery must be installed in the right way.

2: The screen of the Meowbit must be facing outwards.

Troubleshooting

Q: How to solve the problem of “Robotbit is not defined” error on Meowbit after uploading the program from Kittenblock?

A: Robotbit could not be initialized because Meowbit is not connected to Robotbit, connect Meowbit to Robotbit and reset to run the program as normal.
