Blue-Bot Bluetooth Programmable Floor Robot

The Blue-Bot Bluetooth Programmable Floor Robot takes hands-on coding a step further by combining simple button-based programming with Bluetooth connectivity, giving teachers greater flexibility as pupils develop their coding skills.

Children can begin by programming Blue-Bot directly using the directional controls on its back. They enter a sequence of commands and then watch the robot carry out their instructions, providing an accessible way to introduce algorithms, sequencing, prediction and debugging.

Blue-Bot can also connect via Bluetooth to compatible tablets and computers, allowing pupils to create programs digitally and send them wirelessly to the robot. This provides a natural progression from physical button-based programming to working with an on-screen programming environment.

A distinctive feature of Blue-Bot is its transparent shell, which allows children to see components inside the robot. This can help encourage curiosity about robotics and provide a useful starting point for discussions about how digital devices work.

Blue-Bot can remember sequences of up to 200 steps and moves forwards or backwards in 15 cm increments, with 90° left and right turns. These predictable movements make it particularly well suited to Blue-Bot and Bee-Bot floor mats, grids and teacher-created programming challenges.

It can also interact with other Blue-Bots and Bee-Bots and offers audio functionality, creating additional possibilities for collaborative and interactive classroom activities.

Key Features

• Bluetooth-enabled programming – Control Blue-Bot wirelessly from a compatible tablet or computer.
• On-board controls – Pupils can also program the robot directly without needing another device.
• Up to 200-step memory – Create increasingly sophisticated sequences as pupils' confidence develops.
• Transparent shell – Allows pupils to see inside the robot and encourages curiosity about technology.
• Precise movement – Moves forwards and backwards in 15 cm increments and turns left or right by 90°.
• Rechargeable design – Suitable for repeated classroom use without disposable batteries.
• Robot-to-robot interaction – Can interact with other Blue-Bots and Bee-Bots.
• Develops computational thinking – Supports sequencing, algorithms, logical reasoning, problem-solving and debugging.
• Cross-curricular possibilities – Use with compatible mats and activities to incorporate coding into maths, literacy, geography and other subjects.

Classroom Activity Ideas

Begin by asking pupils to program Blue-Bot directly using its buttons to travel between two locations on a floor mat. Before pressing GO, encourage them to predict where each command will take the robot.

As their confidence develops, pupils can use a compatible device to create their program digitally before sending it to Blue-Bot via Bluetooth. They can compare different routes, find the shortest sequence or deliberately introduce an incorrect command for a partner to debug.
