Blue-Bot introduces young learners to coding and robotics through hands-on play — and grows with them. This Bluetooth floor robot can be programmed straight from the buttons on its back, wirelessly from a free tablet or PC app, or with the TacTile Code Reader, so it suits a wide range of abilities in one classroom.
Key features:
- Program three ways — on-body buttons, the free Bluetooth app (iOS, Android, Windows, Mac), or the TacTile Code Reader (sold separately)
- Adds 45° turns and repeat loops for more advanced sequences
- Clear shell lets children see the components working inside
- Remembers up to 200 steps
- Rechargeable — no disposable batteries — and fits the same docking station as your Bee-Bots
- Records and plays back audio, and detects other Bee-Bot and Blue-Bot robots
- The companion app collects no personal data
What your child practises:
- Sequencing and step-by-step logical thinking
- Writing, testing and debugging simple algorithms
- Breaking bigger problems into smaller, solvable steps
- Directional and positional language, and early computational thinking
Blue-Bot suits primary classrooms, homeschool coding lessons and STEM at home. New to floor robots? Many teachers start with the simpler Bee-Bot first. Backed by a 12-month warranty.

Blue-Bot Rechargeable Programmable Floor Robot
Blue Bot has several buttons on its back that help control and connect it via Bluetooth to your device. By programming their clever new robots remotely, students can use the command keys to send Blue Bot in any direction across the floor (forwards, backwards, left and right), whilst also being taught counting, sequencing and estimation in a fun, problem-solving setting.
Blue-Bot’s Features
Blue Bot has functionality like never seen before. It can manoeuvre 45 and 90 degree turns, allowing children across Australia to program Blue Bot to construct a variety of drawings and shapes, as well as travelling through complex pathways. Its sturdy shell is incredibly durable to the inevitable classroom mishaps, and the translucent structure permits students to actually see their programs ticking away inside the intricate components of Blue Bot’s technological brain.
Blue-Bot’s own app
The Blue Bot app is completely free, and available for download to all devices in Australia via the Apple Store for Apple products, the Google store for Android, and with Windows and Mac software in the Terrapin Downloads section.
Upon opening, you will find that the app has a detailed ‘explore mode’ which places children in front of varying degrees of fun challenges and puzzles, in which they can use their robot to complete and consequently learn all the delicate secrets of computer programming.
