Pro-Bot - $110
After using our Bee-Bot with younger students, you asked us to develop a floor robot which could be used for teaching more advanced control techniques.
We have listened to and incorporated all of your ideas to make Pro-Bot, an advanced floor robot (yet still made it cheap enough that you can afford to buy 4)

Robust and durable to withstand everyday use
Can operate independently or alongside your PC with our software
Can be used simply by programming arrows or accepts more complex commands
Routes taken can be drawn using our simple pen mechanism and a standard felt tip pen
Fully functional headlights using light sensors
Voice activated functions
Bumper sensor
4 locators points on the body allows the use of K'NEX
Easy arrow keys work just as on the multi-award winning Bee-Bot
LCD panel to display and edit your programs
Simple connection to PC to upload and download programs
Patented pen mechanism to enable drawing the trail on the floor
Easy to understand sounds show acceptance of commands and when running your programs
Runs for several hours on 3 AA batteries
Remembers its program even when switched off
LCD Display
Displays 16 lines of 8 characters
Shows your program as you type it
Edit your program on the Pro-Bot itself, no need to keep using a PC or starting all over each time
Highlights every step as it runs so you can see what each command does
Complete menu system to enable configuration and program changes
Logo Language
Simple to understand basic Logo commands. Just use arrows to move one Pro-Bot length or turn 90 degrees, no need for numbers
Program as many steps as you need (over 100 allowed)
Most commands can take a numeric parameter up to 999 if you want. So move forward up to 999 cms in one command, or rotate up to 999 degrees in one command.
Use up to 40 procedures - including pre-programmed sequences
Call the procedures from anywhere in the program, even from other procedures
Repeat loops allow you to repeat any sequence of commands or procedures up to 999 times
PC Interface
Connect to any PC via the USB cable provided with the PC software
Develop your program on the PC then download to the Pro-Bot
Or even develop/modify on the Pro-Bot then upload to the PC to show the rest of the class
Individual pupils or groups can develop different procedures that can be combined either on a PC or on the Pro-Bot to run together. One group could develop the petals, another the leaves and another the stalk. Combine them to make a compete flower
"RM and TTS has consistently consulted with teaching professionals throughout the development of Pro-Bot to ensure they produce something schools really need. Pro-Bot is more than just a floor robot and offers the opportunity to extend work using sensors. We have found this to be the natural next step on from the Bee-Bot making this ideal for progressive work."
