Blue-Bot

The Blue-Bot app is a fun and educational tool that allows users to write algorithms for the Blue-Bot floor robot. This app is part of the TTS Floor Robot family and offers various features to make programming both enjoyable and educational. However, it is important to note that updating to this version will result in the loss of any previously saved programs.

With the Blue-Bot app, users can use explore mode to develop algorithms step by step, through drag and drop programming. This mode also allows for the inclusion of repeats to add efficiency and the ability to program 45 degree turns. For a more challenging experience, users can switch to challenge mode where Blue-Bot will add random obstacles and remove directional buttons, adding complexity to the algorithm.

One unique feature of the Blue-Bot app is the ability for children to record themselves giving a command and assign it to a button on Blue-Bot. As the algorithm progresses, they will hear themselves giving the instructions, making the experience more interactive and engaging.

It is important to note that in order to control a Blue-Bot floor robot, the device being used must have Bluetooth. Additionally, the creators of the app, RM, have taken measures to ensure that all products and services accessed by children are designed and implemented in accordance with the Children's Code/Age Appropriate Design Code. They have closely followed the ICO's Code of Practice to ensure that children's data is processed in a secure and appropriate way. It is also worth mentioning that the Blue-Bot app does not collect children's data while it is being used.
