Programming System
for WowWee™ Robots
“Go-Robo aims to teach children and young people programming skills in a fun and engaging way.”
There’s a higher level programming system for Grades 7-12.
It works with 11 different WowWee robots simultaneously.
There’s a much simpler single robot programming system for Grades 2-6. This assumes the learner has no previous programming experience.
The user interface is based on Microsoft’s Visual Studio.
The language is based on Microsoft’s Visual Basic.
You use a time-line system to control several robots and sounds simultaneously.
There’s a single-robot interface for younger children, with plenty of learner support features.
Also suitable for SEN learners.
You can use a basic database to store twelve programs in the Roboremote infra-red transmitter.
Programs can be stored on the computer, downloaded to the robot or stored in Roboremote. Keep a printout of the stored programs as a record of the student’s work.
It is a delight to watch students test their programs on a ‘real’ robot … it maintains student enthusiasm, and encourages a determination to succeed.”
Janet Simner, e-learning consultant, Nottingham E-Learning Centre.
