Students code the programs using an easy, visual programming app on a tablet or smartphone, which connects to the robot models via a wireless Bluetooth connection.

The ultrasonic sensor works on the same principle as sonar. It sends out sound waves, which bounce off objects. The sensor interprets the echoes returning to it, and from this, detects objects in the path of the sensor.

A full-color, 64-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps students assemble all of the models and teaches them about robotics in the real world. The visual programming language allows you to command the robots motors to move at different times, different power levels, in different directions, and in response to the data from the sensor. Requires a tablet or smartphone running iOS or Android.

Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.
