Description
Please note: Blue-Bot Floor Robot is compatible with any iPad with version 3.0/4.0+ EDR / BLE Bluetooth i.e. iPad3 and later.
Download the app to control Blue-Bot, the new addition to the TTS floor robot family. The app enables you to write an algorithm, send it and then Blue-Bot will follow your instructions. There are numerous features, which make writing algorithms both fun and educational.
Use explore mode to develop algorithms:
– Step by step programming. Instructions are added to the list and once happy place Blue-Bot back at the start and press go.
– Drag and drop programming. Just drag your instructions into the left hand bar to save
– Include repeats to make things even more fun
– Program 45 degree turns.
Challenge mode will add complexity into the algorithm:
– Blue-Bot will add random obstacles, adding complexity to the algorithm needed
– One or even two directional buttons can be removed
– Random instructions can be generated, you must predict which square Blue-Bot will end up.
Children can also record themselves saying a command and can assign it to a button on Blue-Bot. As the algorithm progresses, they will hear themselves giving the instructions.
Notes:
Pairing: Blue-Bot DOES NOT need to be manually paired with an iPad. If bluetooth is enabled on the iPad and a Blue-Bot is switched on and available, the app will connect automatically.
This app can be installed in older iPads but will have limited functionality and CANNOT be used to control a Blue-Bot floor robot.
