Botley by Learning Resources
What is it?
Botley is a robotic toy for young children for playing and learning the basics of coding without the need to be connected to a mobile phone or a tablet.
Botley has a line following sensor on the bottom and a proximity sensor between its eyes. It has four LED lights on the top and two motors on its wheels to move and turn. It also has an infrared receiver to communicate with its Remote Programmer, which is the device used to program Botley.
With Botley, you have two game modes: Code and Line Following.
In Code mode, use the buttons on the Remote Programmer to tell Botley what action to take. You can make Botley go forward, turn right, turn left, and go in reverse. With the If/Then Programming, you can make Botley detect and avoid objects in its path.
You can also learn what a Loop is and how to program Botley to repeat a sequence of steps.
In the Line Following mode, Botley follows a black line that you can also draw.
Who is it for?
If you are between five and eight years old, curious about technology, interested in learning the basics of programming while you play, with screenless time, Botley is for you.
What else does it offer?
Botley comes with a 77-piece activity set that in addition to the Remote Programmer includes detachable robot arms, forty reversible Coding cards, six reversible boards, many other accessories to play with, and a stickers sheet. It also comes with an activities guide in several languages.
How is it used/prepared/assembled?
Botley does not need assembly. Place three AAA batteries in the robot and another two AAA batteries in the Remote Programmer. Slide the switch on the bottom of your robot to choose the mode you want to play with and to turn it off.
If you want Botley to stop moving at any time, press the Stop button above it.
When the batteries are low, Botley will beep repeatedly.
