Great video but the link you provided to the mechanism curriculum is not opening and some of the projects you show in your video are not available on the project or building section
By "talk" we mean that the two robots can use Radio on the micro:bit to control one another. So when you show one robot the food, it transmits a radio signal to make the other robot move as well. More information here: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/makecode/program/16-1
You need a hobby servo and a way to control it. In the video, a Hummingbird Controller is being used. Other than that, a box, some masking tape, and a stiff piece of wire are all you need. Check out the tutorial here for more instructions: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/build/crank/1-1
If you use the MakeCode programming environment, the code will be downloaded to the Hummingbird and it will run without a tablet/computer. You will need to recreate your program in MakeCode. Here's a link to our programming tutorials for MakeCode: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/makecode/program/1-1

is it the Rotation Servo - FS5103R and does all of it come in the 14$ thing like all of the stuff you used?? and one last thing can i use the Hummingbird Bit Controller for the last part?
It is the position servo that is being used to open/close the mouth, FS5103B, and you can use a Hummingbird Bit controller to control it. Position servos are included in our Hummingbird Bit Base and Premium kits - but the base kit has a small position servo, the FS90 (which is still sufficient to open/close the mouth). Building materials like cardboard are not included in our kits.
Here is some example code for moving a servo back and forth: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/makecode/program/6-6 The angles you set the servo to might be different based on your robot - in the example it moves from 90 to 180 degrees and back.
Finch ships from Pittsburgh, USA if you order direct from BirdBrain Technologies. You can get them in Canada from a variety of resellers as well: support.birdbraintechnologies.com/hc/en-us/articles/360003752213-Do-you-ship-internationally-
Hi Artie - the Finch can make music with its built-in speaker, but only simple tones like you might hear in a 1980s video or arcade game. The Finch's programming environments do let you play music from connected computers and tablets though. More information here: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/finch/birdblox/8-1
Check out our programming tutorials or self-paced video courses - both Snap! and BirdBlox programming environments allow you to control the Hummingbird with Bluetooth: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/hummingbirdbit/snap/program/1-1 learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/professional-development/video-courses/hummingbirdbit/
Hey!! I am using humming bird with micro bit. However I am not able to connect it with the humming bird firmware burner to operate it with app inventor
Level 1 has simple blocks without parameters. Level 2 adds parameters (so you can tell the Finch to move and turn at set speeds). Level 3 adds some additional controls around how long to run each block. Check out our lessons here: learn.birdbraintechnologies.com/finch1/snap-jr/curriculum/ The newest version of the Finch has an app, FinchBlox, with a similar leveling approach.
