A BBC micro:bit with a Kitronik Inventors Kit for the BBC micro:bit, a 1M anti-tangle USB Cable, a Battery Cage and 2 x AAA Batteries. Your BBC micro:bit will come in one of 4 colour schemes, unfortunately, it is not possible to specify which colour.
The Kitronik Inventor's Kit for the BBC micro:bit is a great way to get started with programming and hardware interaction with the BBC micro:bit. This Inventor's Kit contains everything you need to complete 10 experiments.
To get you off to a flying start, we have included an easy-to-follow tutorial book which guides you through everything you will need to know about programming the BBC micro:bit. You don't need any experience with programming as the tutorial book will guide you every step of the way.
The BBC micro:bit has a selection of pins that are located on the bottom edge of its PCB. By using our specially designed Edge Connector Board for the BBC micro:bit in conjunction with the breadboard it is easy to use these pins to connect additional components to the BBC micro:bit.
The Kitronik Inventors Kit offers a great introduction to the world of physical computing. Its 12 experiments showcase how code and electronics can combine to create real-world everyday practical solutions to situations and problems. But why stop there?

We are currently experiencing high demand for BBC micro:bit inventors kits mainly due to the imminent launch of the micro:bit outside of schools. We are however in the process of building lots of these so that we will then be able to have stock of them, we are also waiting on the BBC micro:bit to go with the kit. However both are likely to be in stock in a couple of weeks.
Another example in which a woman did not receive proper credit for innovating is the cotton gin, the inventor of which is still argued today. In 1792, Catharine Greene, the widow of Continental Army Gen. Nathanael Greene, met Yale graduate Eli Whitney and hired him to tutor her children. Whitney patented the cotton gin in 1794.
Details of how the gin was invented vary and are therefore unclear, but according to the Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation, National Museum of American History and the Smithsonian Institution, Catharine and her slaves participated in the invention.
No sound factual evidence exists, but the rumor is that Catharine had a drawing of the gin that may have been made by her husband before his death. She revealed the drawing to Whitney, who made a prototype of the gin. Whitney tested the prototype with the slaves, who made suggestions for improvements that he carried out. Then he applied for a patent in his name.
This speculation has some logic because Gen. Greene could not have patented the gin if he was indeed the rightful inventor. He died in 1786, four years before the United States Patent and Trademark Office began operating.
She is also known for inventing the first machine to make the flat- or square-bottomed grocery bag. Knight designed the machine that produced the complicated series of folds still used in principle today. When we view her patents (Nos. 116,842 and 220,925, issued in 1871 and 1879), we see machines that any robotics engineer would be proud to claim today. They are truly remarkable.
But claiming credit for her invention was not without a struggle. A man named Charles Annan was aware of the prototype being built for her and filed a patent on it. Knight was not about to yield to this villain and took him to court. He contended that no woman could develop a machine as complex as the one he claimed was his.
Knight demonstrated how her machine was developed and how it worked, and the court dismissed Annan as a fraud. It granted Knight her patent. She went on to patent 18 more of her 100 or so inventions, including a rotary engine, before dying in 1914 at age 76.
Beulah Louise Henry, a descendant of Patrick Henry, is best known for her invention of the bobbin-less sewing machine. Although she began as an independent inventor, she eventually worked as an inventor and consultant for hire. Beulah Henry was granted 49 patents and produced 110 inventions that covered a wide range of technology. She died in 1973 at age 86.
For me, it seems like the Armor Invention is missing options for a Large Size (big power armor) as well as an Unarmed Strike (since many options specifically call out unarmed strikes for the Armor Invention).
In addition, I think there may be more room for some magic option integration, such as a feat that lets you place a wand inside your weapon to cast from it without a check, flavored as using technology to draw out the magical power stored within the wand.
Yeah, armor inventor has a lot of unarmed attacks suggestions in the mechanics and flavor text, but no actual support for unarmed attacks. It's pretty strange. Weapon inventor makes their weapons side grades until 15th level.
It's definitely better for Construct and Armour innovations; weapon innovations tend to lean you into certain strategies with their added traits, while Construct and Armour upgrades are more generically useful.
Very much this. Either large-size armor, or a huge-size companion. Basically some way for an inventor to have a mech or warjack would be amazing.I'm not sure what other innovations they could get off the top of my head. I haven't looked closely at gadgets enough to know if they'd make sense to build an innovation around.
One idea that does come to mind is a vehicle, like mechanics have in Tech Revolution, though we'd need some system for building vehicles for that to be viable I would think.
I'd also like more interaction with gadgets! Like a permanent gadget you can add to your invention. I love megaton strike. It's power attack plus furious focus that works with ranged strikes. I do wish that the new gadgets had some more useful effects, having a permanent one could be handy though.

I like Megaton Strike too, but it's probably got the worst Unstable ability just because it doesn't scale well with your level like the others.
Yeah, if you compare the extra damage you get from its unstable use to other options, it's not very good but still worth it for its standard action. Although, if you're multiclassing from a sniper to get megaton strike at 8th level, you could crit with a cool 9d12 lol.

I think more feats and innovations specifically for ranged Inventors would be fun as well. Like a repeating or capacity innovation for a reload weapon at level 1 would definitely feel like this Inventor person has a wild contraption from the get-go. Or at least double barrel.
Light Criticism: It feels sometimes like the Gears section and the Guns section are actually two physically separate books, rather than two "books" in the same copy. You've got these traits like double barrel and capacity which you can't even put on an invention in the same book. There's even the injection trait that I don't think shows up anywhere for the Inventor. Changing damage types or being able to fold up and hide my crazy weapon invention is pretty boring. I don't think Inventor needs to be able to make every weapon a reach weapon or whatever, but yeesh. Give me some more wacky ideas to toy with.
The Explosive Leap feat already kinda does the grapple gun, sorta, but movement abilities is a fun thing to expand on. I think this could be a good place to expand the armor innovation a bit, since it already does movement speed but is kind of taken up by resistances. An unstable feat that lets your armor innovation levitate (not fly) would be really cool, same with a suction cup/magnet/just-punching-your-power-suit-into-the-wall spider climb.
Constructs seem pretty solid, but also more combat actions for them. I think some Star Wars robutt-type construct feats would be rad as well, turn your construct into a universal translator, or give it more powerful trapfinder or disable device abilities. I've also recently gotten to use Alchemical Golems and that idea of multiple alchemical substances sloshing around inside of them is pretty cool; fill up your construct with an alchemist fire and it can add it to a melee attack before it needs to be refilled, etc.
A vehicle innovation would be great. I'm trying to figure out how to get some ideas I have from a homebrew setting to work with pf2e rules, and in my setting is an inventor that specializes in vehicles. Would be nice to have a tricked out steam cart with a cannon on it as that's the concept essentially of his main fighting style. I suppsoe I could use the construct innovation but it doesn't feel right as his vehicles are not creatures taht act on their own, they need to be piloted.
I've been flirting with the idea of importing some notions from AD&D2's Spelljammer campaign setting because I like the idea of massive walking vehicles, flying ships, and submarines. In my drafty head canon I would realize this through an added vehicle innovation.EDIT: This could be something else a tech guide book gives us.
Actually, it could probably even work as a minor weapon innovation perk or a class feat requiring the weapon innovation ( though it should be available by lvl 1 regardless the situation, just for character customization purposes ).
