Blue-Bot introduces young learners to coding and robotics through hands-on play. This Bluetooth floor robot connects to a tablet or PC, so children can build a sequence of instructions, send it across, and watch the robot carry out their program step by step — turning abstract computing ideas into something they can see move.
Key features:
- Programmable via Bluetooth using the free companion app on a tablet or PC
- Clear shell lets children see the components inside and explore how the robot works
- Remembers sequences of up to 200 steps
- Audio playback brings each program to life as the robot moves
- Communicates with other Blue-Bots and Bee-Bots for collaborative activities
- Rechargeable, so there's no steady stream of disposable batteries
- Companion app collects no personal data — reassuring for schools and families
Skills children build:
- Sequencing and step-by-step logical thinking
- Writing and debugging simple algorithms
- Breaking bigger problems into smaller, solvable steps
- Directional and positional language
- Early computational thinking and independent problem-solving
Blue-Bot suits primary classrooms, homeschool coding lessons and parents introducing STEM at home, and it works right across the curriculum — from maths to storytelling. Free downloadable lesson plans and activity cards help you get started, and TTS continues to support and update the app for three years after a product is discontinued.
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.
