Introduction

This extension lets you connect multiple Quarky robots together wirelessly using ESP-NOW. With this, you can make one Quarky control others, send messages between them, or make them work together as a team — all without needing a Wi-Fi Router or the internet!
It’s perfect for fun classroom projects where students build smart robots that talk to each other, like a group of robots moving in sync or passing information. Designed for students, teachers, and makers, this extension helps you explore wireless communication and teamwork between robots in a simple, block-based way using PictoBlox.
