The TTS Rugged Robot is a programmable floor robot built for the great outdoors — a tough, screen-free way to introduce coding to early years and primary students. Big wheels let it drive across grass, dirt, sand and grit, so students can take their programs from the mat to the playground. It follows in the trusted TTS tradition of Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot, made from robust ABS plastic to handle everyday classroom use.
Key features:
- Control three ways: onboard buttons for screen-free coding, a free tablet app (iOS and Android), or the TTS TacTile Reader
- 256-step memory for longer, multi-step programs
- Three speeds and a 20cm step, so students can match the robot to their challenge
- 45° turns — a step up from Bee-Bot's 90° — ideal for exploring angles and shapes
- Obstacle sensor that detects, reverses and rotates; switch it on or off to scaffold difficulty
- USB rechargeable (about 3 hours to charge, around 1 hour of use), with an LED charge ring and a built-in camera mount
What your child practises: directional language, sequencing, algorithms, decomposition and debugging — building the computational thinking at the heart of Digital Technologies for K–6.
Bluetooth control, a rugged build and simple set-up make Rugged Robot an easy first robot for any classroom.
