The lego mindstorms kits were great for this. Nice and modular for the hardware, but still real enough to teach you lessons like sometimes identical motors don't work the same way.

Although the Mindstorms line is discontinued, nowadays there's the Lego SPIKE Prime (it's marketed more towards classrooms). Like the Mindstorms EV3, you can program it with either a visual block language or MicroPython.

Also check out https://pybricks.com, which gives MicroPython support for more LEGO sets.

IMO https://pybricks.com/project/saving-lego-mindstorms/ is especially interesting.
