AdventureBot – The Path Finder!

Theme: AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE

Duration: 8 lessons (1.5 hours per lesson)

Using the same controller as its higher priced counterparts, the AdventureBot also uses the EZ-B v4/2 Wi-Fi Robot Controller and EZ-B v4 Camera just like Roli Rover and Hexapod Six. AdvebtureBot is an affordable entry level of EZ-Robot, which can also be expanded using additional Clip’n’Play parts in the future. For example, the base of the AdventureBot is from the Six Hexapod. Kids can always using their creativity to add additional new body parts or even sensors to AdventureBot to customize their own robot.

During the course, kids will learn on how to assemble and modify the parts of AdventureBot with simple Clip’n’Play feature. Kids will be exposed to a problem and requested to propose a better way to get the robots to function properly along the course. Logical thinking is required for kids to write the script or block programming for control of their robot.
