A 77-piece activity set, fit to create any number of challenges for Botley to overcome. Includes Botley and the remote programmer, detachable arms for Botley, 40 coding cards, 6 double-sided jigsaw tiles, 27 obstacles, and a manual with coding challenges included.
Meet Botley, the code to fun! As the newest member of the Learning Resources family, Botley introduces coding in an easy, friendly way. Children as young as 5 can learn to code with Botley, and with his advanced features, he'll grow with them for many play-filled years to come. Botley is ready to use right out of the box he'll have kids coding in minutes. And that's not all that makes Botley unique; he's 100% screen-free, and the only coding robot that includes a 77-piece activity set!
Here are just some of the fun interactive features Botley offers:
Detect objects and avoid them!
Follow looping commands
Navigate obstacle courses
Follow black lines
Botley also has additional hidden features to unlock!
Screen-free programming for the wee coders in the family! Botley is an interesting introduction to programming, requiring nothing more than a remote-control programmer. In addition to following up to 80 programmed steps, Botley is able to detect and avoid obstacles, follow programmed "loop" commands (go forward, turn, go forward, turn, etc.), and even sense and follow black lines without the need for programming. The idea is to combine Botley with "active challenges" for kids to solve - following a route, finishing an obstacle course, or even playing a simple game (such as pushing a ball into a goal). Once kids understand the basics, Botley can be used for just about any simple activity they can think of!
These robots will be Christmas presents for my 6 7 year old grandchildren. I believe it is important to learn coding and this looks like fun.
Learning coding and fun
My son wanted the "clocky" robot, but this seems more educational and fun.
