This is a short presentation about the Go-Robo Programming System for WowWee robots. Go-Robo is designed for educational use in the classroom. The aim is to teach children and young people the skills of computer programming in a fun and engaging way. You can download Go-Robo at http://www.q4technologies.com
2. “ Go-Robo aims to teach children and young people programming skills in a fun and engaging way.”
3. There’s a higher level programming system for Grades 7-12. It works with 11 different WowWee robots simultaneously.
4. There’s a much simpler single robot programming system for Grades 2-6. This assumes the learner has no previous programming experience.
5. The user interface is based on Microsoft’s Visual Studio. The language is based on Microsoft’s Visual Basic.
6. You use a time-line system to control several robots and sounds simultaneously.
7. There’s a single-robot interface for younger children, with plenty of learner support features. Also suitable for SEN learners.
8. You can use a basic database to store twelve programs in the Roboremote infra-red transmitter.
9. 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.
10. 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.
Go-Robo is a Programming System for WowWee infra-red robots. The first edition – for Robosapien was created in 2006 by Q4 Technologies, a UK-based Education Software publisher. In January 2007 Go-Robo was first shown to the world of education at the London BETT Show, using RS1, RSV2, RS Media, Roboraptor, Roboreptile and Robopet with a RedRat3 infra-red controller.
