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.”
