This robotic arm was built from a kit and is controlled directly from a computer over a USB link. There are four motors to control – one to rotate the arm on its base, two in the joints of the arm to allow it to bend and position the gripper, and one that controls the jaws of the gripper.
General Presentations on Robotics to year groups are available for FREE.
Some of the presentations we can deliver are: "Programming a Virtual Robot with CoSpace"; "An Introduction to robots and how they can be programmed"; "Robotics in the Real World"; "The Story of Robotic Space Exploration"
The Scout package includes the use of Cubelets, Ozobots, Edison, Vortex and MiP robots. Plus there will be a surprise guest!.
Our Explorer package includes everything in the Scout package, with the addition of Jade, Sphero, Ollie, Wink and pre-built Vex IQ and Mindstorms robots.
The Adventurer package includes the whole RobotFun collection. This is most suitable for larger groups and older children, or those who are interested in robot construction as well as programming. To allow time for construction and programming, Adventurer parties last from 120 to 180 minutes.
At every party we'll introduce each of the robots in turn and demonstrate their capabilities.
We'll throw in some fun facts about robots, suggest a few activities and then it is RobotFun time!
