mBot
Paves The Way For Younger Programmers
There’s
nothing better than toys that encourage learning. With today’s technological
developments, however, parents are looking for toys that are a bit better than
the typical “shape slots.”
The
market answers with the development of the mBot.
Think LEGOs but so much better as the assembly teaches kids all about STEM or
Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics. It is not your typical LEGO
because the MBot comes with Bluetooth controls and arguably, a little bit
harder to solve. It takes about 10 minutes to get this MBot fully built but all
the while, kids are learning about robotics, assembly, engineering, and a whole
lot of other possibilities.
The MBot
has 38 assembly parts, all color-labeled and featuring RRJ25 ports that let you
connect it to various wirings. Once the necessary connections are made, you can
do whatever you want with it, creating a “dream robot” that could avoid
obstacles, be controlled by remotes, and even included in different computer
games like soccer and sumo. Thanks to the flexibility of the electronics,
you’re free to program as widely as you want to get the results you’re hoping
for. The beauty of this is that it provides a “clean slate” system that
essentially lets you test out codes, run them, and see if there are any gaps in
the program. Ideal for budding tech engineers, the MBot could be your kid’s
very first experiment in virtual intelligence.
What
makes the MBot even greater is that it’s built to work with LEGO fittings. This
means that it can easily be integrated in your LEGO creations, allowing you to
build whatever you want. With LEGO essentially a blank slate, imagination is
really your only limit.
Perfect
for families, the MBot actually comes with a large scale version that is ideal for
group use – like classrooms. With the “fun” added in, MBot makes it possible to
bring “programming” to the younger generation.
