Blue-Bot is a perfect starting point for teaching control
And you can wirelessly control it with your tablet or PC.
Blue-Bot can now detect another Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot and say hello. They will play a default sound or the students can record their own. Students can also record audio to play back when each button is pressed, making it more accessible to all students, including those with auditory or visual processing needs.
Welcome to the future of programming in the classroom!
This innovative Bluetooth robot can be controlled using a tablet or PC/Mac whereby you create your program on screen, send it remotely and see Blue-Bot performs your program right before your very eyes! With a clear shell, children can see inside Blue-Bot and understand which components perform which duties, for example, where is the power stored? Using the app, BlueBot can now perform 45 degree turns alongside the traditional 90 degree turns which means children can program Blue-Bot to draw a variety of different shapes. The app has an explore mode which allows children to explore the wonders of programming whilst the challenges mode presents puzzles for the children to complete. You can still use BlueBot like your normal Bee-Bot, by programming on the robot itself. You can use your existing Bee-Bot mats with Blue-Bot and have an image of the mats on screen so you can replicate your program in real life. We have made classroom management as easy as possible by allowing you to rename each and every Blue-Bot to give it its own character. Blue-Bot’s Features:
Blue-Bot has a clear shell, which makes it possible to see the components inside Blue-Bot. Children can see its buzz!
Tablet or PC controlled floor robot

The new and improved Blue-Bot is perfect for teaching control, directional language and programming. because you can code and control Blue-Bot in four ways;
Use Blue-Bots on-board buttons for basic controls, which will enable Blue-Bot to act the same as a Bee-Bot.
Use Blue-Bots TacTiles to create more complex screen free programming, then use the Blue-Bot TacTile Reader to upload the algorithms for Blue-Bot to actuate.
Use Blue-Bots App to utilize more complex coding opportunities whereby you create your program on screen and send it remotely for Blue-Bot to perform the program.
Control Blue-Bot remotely using the App on a Android, iOS, Mac, or Windows device.
Key Features of the New Blue-Bot
Blue-Bot (and Bee-Bot) now have sensors and can detect other Bots.
Blue-Bot (and Bee-Bot) now have the capability to record and play back audio. The recording is played back to confirm when commands are entered and when Blue-bot follows the command.
Blue-bots has a clear shell, which means children can see inside Blue-Bot and understand which components perform which duties, for example, where is the power stored?
Using the app, Blue Bot can now perform 45 degree turns alongside the traditional 90 degree turns which means children can program Blue-Bot to draw a variety of different shapes.

The Blue-Bot App
The Blue-Bot app enables you to write an algorithm, send it to your Blue-Bot, and then Blue-Bot will follow your instructions. The Blue-Bot App has two modes;
Explore Mode allows children to explore the wonders of programming through an open ended coding environment.
Challenge Mode presents puzzles for the children to complete.
The Blue-Bot App also makes classroom management as easy as possible too - by allowing you to rename each and every Blue-Bot to give it its own character. The Blue-Bot App includes numerous activities which make writing algorithms both fun and educational, including:
Use explore mode to develop algorithms: Step by step programming. Drag and drop programming. Include repeats to add efficiency.
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
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.
Other Useful Features of Blue-Bot Include:
Rechargeable and fits on the Bee-Bot Docking Stations
USB cable provided for recharging
Compatible with your existing Bee-Bot Mats and accessories (such as shells, pushers, pen holders etc
Warranty and Support
All items in the Blue-Bot Rechargeable Swarm have a 1 year warranty.

Blue-Bot Swarm
$1,359.09 ex GST
Introducing the Blue-Bot Swarm
- a Bluetooth Programmable Robot Class Pack
You can program Blue-Bot with a wide range of tablets, a PC, Mac, or our very own TacTile Reader. The tablet app features a host of programming challenges and problems for children to solve by constructing the correct program.
Blue-Bot Swarm is a set of 6 Blue-Bots and also includes a docking station, allowing you to charge 6 Blue-Bots at the same time so you don't need to worry about storage or batteries, just pop Blue-Bot back on the dock and it'll charge ready for its next adventure!
Blue-Bot can now interact with another Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot and say "hello" or students can record their own message. Students can also record audio to play back when each button is pressed (e.g. a different sound for forward and a different sound for backward), making it more accessible to all students, including those with auditory or visual processing needs.
Blue-Bot is well suited to supporting a number of aspects of computing. It can be used to help pupils:
Understand what algorithms are, how they are implemented as programs on digital devices, and that programs execute by following precise and unambiguous instructions
Design, write and debug programs that accomplish specific goals, including controlling or simulating physical systems; solve problems by decomposing them into smaller parts
Use sequence, selection and repetition in programs; work with variables and various forms of input and output. Use logical reasoning to explain how some simple algorithms work and to detect and correct errors in algorithms and programs
