Probot

It's a floor robot with fully programmable distances and degrees of turn...

Or it's a complete control and monitoring system in a compact package...

Or it's a great way to introduce children to programming, cause and effect, angles and geometry.

The Pro-Bot is a robot that offers students hands-on experience with programming as well as robotic controls.

Pro-Bot commands are entered with a set of arrow and number keys on the back and will follow any sequence of commands entered by students.

The Pro-Bot operates in two modes. In the first mode, the Pro-Bot uses only the "GO" button and the arrow keys. In the second mode, the student can combine both arrow keys and number keys to command movement and degrees for turns. Transitioning between these two modes is simple, allowing students to develop necessary programming skills.

• Bright attractive car design, with student 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

• 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

• 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
