About this game

CB1 Blockly Programming App for Robotics Workshop

For use with the engineering kit “Robotics Workshop” by Thames & Kosmos

CB1 Blockly is a visual programming app based on Blockly. It allows you to write programs to control the robots you build with the Robotics Workshop kit. You can write visual programs with drag-and-drop code blocks in the app and then send the programs to the CB1 core controller on your robot models to make the motors turn, the buzzer sound, and the LEDs flash. You can write programs that use sensor input from the light sensor, sound sensor, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, and touch sensors to command your robots to interact with their environments.

App Features
• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Programming mode lets you script and save up to 20 programs.
• Ten demo programs are preloaded to work specifically with the ten robot models in the kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you use input data from two touch sensors, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, light sensor, sound sensor, and variable resistor knob to control four motors, 2 LEDs, and speaker.
• Use the 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in the kit to learn how to build the models and write the programs.

Note:
• Because of the large number of Android devices on the market, it is impossible for us to recommend specific Android devices.

Unfortunately only very poor control of robot possible. Several android tablets tried. Acer 7" running android 6.0 seemed to work ok but slowly. Unfortunately not really 'in real time' so disappointing. Very slow - I mean can be Really slow. Later tried Acer 10" running android 7. At first would not work, and then tried it with gps 'on', then suddenly started working. Somewhat erratic. Poor performance made even more difficult by poor documentation. Lego much much better i think.

the app interface is too small so it cant fit on my mobile device screen it works fine on pc but you have to keep the usb plugged in. so is there a way to make the pc able to connect to the robot remotely if so then please make it that way.
