TTS

Our first programmable robot designed for outdoor use! Winner of the BETT 2020 award for the best digital device. Boasting Bluetooth functionality and designed for robust challenges, Rugged Robot can be controlled via tablet or the TTS TacTile Code Reader. With a memory of up to 256 steps, Rugged Robot will be able to carry out the most challenging of activities. With 3 speeds, students can set how fast the robot moves. It also boasts an obstacle sensor which can be turned on and off to prepare students to the more complex programming that lies ahead. An obstacle sensor which can be turned on and off will detect obstacles in front of the robot and reverse and rotate 45 degrees before carrying out the rest of the program.

This mat is designed to engage students in programming and construction at the same time! Can you take the rubble to the skip? Take the workman to the digger?

Take Rugged Robot for a swim in the coral reef using this 120cm x 120cm mat. Providing excellent cross curricular links, this mat includes a variety of coral fish, examples of coral bleaching and a broken ship mast which links to the Treasure Island mat. Supported by lesson ideas in our Rugged Robot Computational Thinking Textbook, the Coral Reef mat can be used in a variety of different ways. Why not litter the reef with old plastics? How long will different types of rubbish take to biodegrade? Can you program Rugged to collect up the rubbish in the coral?
