Description |
|
This maze solving robot has been designed to provide a motivating platform for learning robotics for all ages. The robot addresses the requirements of technology education in schools and colleges and the electronic circuit board can also be used for mechanical projects at 16+. The high specification two wheel robot is powered from rechargeable batteries and is supplied with a function limited version of Flowcode graphical programming software - available in 12 languages. Flowcode’s drag and drop interface allows students with no previous
programming experience to create a wide range of programs for the robot. Simply develop the program, simulate its functionality on-screen and then click on a button to download the program to the robot via USB. The robot is designed to allow learners to complete a range of
programming tasks with increasing levels of difficulty, building their understanding as they progress through the tasks. The technical specification of Formula Flowcode is impressive: it uses an advanced PICmicro 18 series microcontroller with internal precision motor controller circuitry, has 3 infrared distance sensors, line following
sensors on a separate circuit board, a speaker, audio level sensor, light sensor, two spare switch inputs, 8 user programmable LEDs, and various expansion buses -including an E-blocks port. |
