Pro-Bot deviceAfter using our Bee-Bot with Foundation Stage and KS1 children, you asked us to develop a floor robot which could be used for teaching more advanced control techniques.

We have listened to and incorporated all of your ideas to make Pro-Bot, an advanced floor robot.

  • Bright attractive car design, with child appeal
  • Robust and durable to withstand everyday use
  • Can operate independently or alongside your PC with our software
  • Can be used simply by programming arrows or accepts more complex commands
  • Routes taken can be drawn using our simple pen mechanism and a standard felt tip pen
  • Fully functional headlights using light sensors
  • Voice activated functions
  • Bumper sensor
  • 4 locators points on the body allows the use of K'NEX

Built-in Sensors

  • 4 sensors already built-in
  • Program the Pro-Bot to behave as you want whenever sensors are activated
  • Front touch sensor
  • Rear touch sensor
  • Light sensor
  • Sound sensor

Simple To Use

  • Easy arrow keys work just as on the multi-award winning Bee-Bot
  • LCD panel to display and edit your programs
  • Simple connection to PC to upload and download programs
  • Patented pen mechanism to enable drawing the trail on the floor
  • Easy to understand sounds show acceptance of commands and when running your programs
  • Runs for several hours on 3 AA batteries
  • Remembers its program even when switched off

LCD Display Panel

  • Displays 16 lines of 8 characters
  • Shows your program as you type it
  • Edit your program on the Pro-Bot itself, no need to keep using a PC or starting all over each time
  • Highlights every step as it runs so you can see what each command does
  • Complete menu system to enable configuration and program changes

Logo Language

  • Simple to understand basic Logo commands. Just use arrows to move one Pro-Bot length or turn 90 degrees, no need for numbers
  • Program as many steps as you need (over 100 allowed)
  • Most commands can take a numeric parameter up to 999 if you want. So move forward up to 999 cms in one command, or rotate up to 999 degrees in one command.
  • Use up to 40 procedures - including pre-programmed sequences
  • Call the procedures from anywhere in the program, even from other procedures
  • Repeat loops allow you to repeat any sequence of commands or procedures up to 999 times

PC Interface

  • Connect to any PC via the USB cable provided with the PC software
  • Develop your program on the PC then download to the Pro-Bot
  • Or even develop/modify on the Pro-Bot then upload to the PC to show the rest of the class
  • Individual pupils or groups can develop different procedures that can be combined either on a PC or on the Pro-Bot to run together. One group could develop the petals, another the leaves and another the stalk. Combine them to make a compete flower

Remember to set speed to FAST and remove Pauses at End of each command (in the Context/Edit menu). Otherwise the more complex programs will run very slowly.
