Testing the robot in school.

This is my first build.  It is basically the stock one, as described in the included instruction manual, but with the following important modifications.

1) Removed the touch sensor on the back
2) Removed the arm attachment on the front
3) Added the lamp (with a coloured brick) on the front




Removing the touch sensor and the arm attachment make the robot much more durable in the classroom.  Adding the lamp allows for more instant visual feedback to the students.

Placing our first order.

We ordered a robot and the software in order to test it in our computer suites and with our students.  Note that this is not the site licence, we will order that later after we are satisfied that this is suitable for our Year 6, Year 7 and Year 8 students.  Also, there are updates for both the application software and the robot firmware available on their website.
Your order is now being processed and will be sent to you as soon as possible.
