Learn by doing a fun hands-on physical computing activity using your Codey Rocky Robot. - See YouTube Gizmo Cats Channel

You'll be having fun with your smart and cute robot by telling it what to do using block programming (Scratch-like) or Python Language. You will learn robotic sequencing concepts, conditionals, and physical sensing feedback.

The Codey Rocky robot is designed to teach the concepts of Physical Computing using the robot hardware and software.

As soon as you take this little "person" out the box, it’s apparent how cute Codey Rocky is. And yes, I’m calling it a "person". The little person has too much personality to be just an "it". Technically, there are two separate parts. The ‘face’ is Codey, a detachable controller that you code, while Rocky is the vehicle that transports Codey.

Prerequisite: A Codey Rocky Robot.

Give the online software a go! It is very similar to using Scratch (or download the software to your device).

Please Contact Now to register your interest BEFORE purchasing one from " Amazon" or the "Robot Shop" or any from any other sources. A Codey Rocky costs ~US$99.
