OUR ROBOTS
All our robots are our original designs created with custom-crafted wooden and 3D-printed parts to inspire creativity. The founders wanted to make it really easy for kids to learn behind-the-scenes of robotics and coding so they created their own robots that are simple but provide a powerful learning experience. Each robot is designed to teach a unique skill and they are a lot of fun to work with. Kids have an absolute BLAST as they learn essential new STEM skills in robotics and coding.
Basic Robot for 1-hour Class (Robotic Arm, Traffic Light, and Windmill)
This robot is used for our single 1-hr class to introduce kids to the world of robotics and coding. It includes 3 activities:
Robotic Arm: This activity includes a single motor to control the movement of an arm. Kids learn to build a robotic arm and get an overview of the programming.
Traffic Light: This activity teaches kids how to wire and control red, green, and yellow LED.
Windmill: This activity includes a single 360 degree motor to control windmill. Kids learn to control the direction (clockwise or counter-clockwise) as well as speed of the windmill.
Robby The Drummer: This robot is a lot of fun to build and learn various aspects to robotics and coding. It uses 3 motors (1 for each arm and 1 for head) to control arms and head movement. Kids learn to control range and the speed of motions which allows them to create various drum beats. This is a very powerful robot as kids can use their imagination and creativity to create their own music as they learn and get more comfortable with programming. There is really no limit to it as they can use this robot for months to practice coding (if one desires so) and improve their programming skills.
Pull-up Robot: This robot does the pull-ups. Yes, it does. It sues three motors - two for arms (1 for each arm) and one for head movement. You can program it to do to a fixed number of pull-ups. You can also program it where it mimics real human-like behavior as it does the pull-ups. For example, make it do 10 pull-ups and then slow down the pace of pull-ups to indicate it’s getting tired and struggling (much like human). You can also add a counter which can keep track of pull-ups it does.
Robotic Excavator Arm: This robot uses 3 motors and 3D printed components. The 3 motors allows one to control the movement precisely to mimic a real-life excavator arm movement, left-right-up-down. (Video coming soon)
Rover: This robot is designed to look like a real-life rover used in space body exploration. It uses four 360 motors and antennas lighted with blue LEDs. The vehicle body also uses headlights and brake lights. You can control the speed at which the vehicle moves as well as forward and reverse motion. You can also turn the headlights on/off and control the brightness of the headlights. Brake lights turn on automatically when the vehicles starts to slow down. The rover robot is a lot of fun to work with for kids.
Military Vehicle: This robot is designed to look like a real-life military vehicle. It features an artillery that can rotate 360 degrees. You can also control the amount and speed of the rotation. The vehicle is powered by four 360 motors. The vehicle also uses headlights and brake lights. You can control the speed at which the vehicle moves as well as forward and reverse motion. You can also turn the headlights on/off and control the brightness of the headlights. Brake lights are turned on and brighten automatically when the vehicles starts to slow down.
