Compared to Ozobot Bit, the next generation Bit+ features:
- Double the battery life
- Arduino compatibility
- Upgradable feature firmware updates (via USB connection)
- Ozobot Blockly connectivity (via USB connection)
- Battery disconnect switch to maximize battery life
- Larger design with a strong polycarbonate shell
