EZ-Robot Revolution Robot - Roli Rover

Grades 6-12.

The tread of this planetary rover-style robot kit is designed to travel long distances and through difficult territory without getting stuck. The 7.4V LiPo battery powers two motors, giving it enough torque to tackle tough terrain. The body contains a storage tray for carrying objects and a removable drink holder. The body also features 13 female Clip'n'Play connections (one on the front, three on the rear, four on either side, and one on top). Compact grippers are powered by strong metal-geared servo motors that enable the robot to interact with soft, light objects.

These robots combine powerful hardware, clip-n-play modularity, and innovative software that push the limits of robot technology. Each robot has an exceptionally compact, intelligent, and powerful brain that enables the robot to walk, talk, learn, interact, and play. The brain leverages the power of two 32-bit Cortex ARM and Microchip IC32 processors operating at a combined 320 MHz. The brain can also be expanded to grow with the robot by supporting dozens of additional sensors, displays, and servomotors. The camera enables the robot to interact with objects, colors, faces, motion, glyphs, and QR codes. Using a PC or mobile device, control the robots over a Wi-Fi® connection. The EZ-Builder software controls, programs, and shares the robot's behaviors, configurations, and personalities. Customize the robot with EZ-Builder's easy-to-use 3-D graphical designer, then share the configuration on the EZ-Cloud App Store within the global community. Point-and-click programming is graphical, easy, and scales between beginning and advanced users. The processing is offloaded to a mobile device, tablet, or PC, providing users with an easy-to-use, rich development environment that can be used by non-programmers. New features can be added to the robot as computers, mobile devices, and software evolves. A simple drag-and-drop interface allows you to even make your own apps for your iOS® or Android device. The robots also feature a low-energy digital switching power supply that generates practically no heat, ez-bit parts that simply slide together to make arms and legs, and a built-in speaker for streaming live audio. Parts are easily replaced by using the 3D-printable open source CAD files. Smartphone not included. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS: Windows® 8.1 minimum (Windows® 10 recommended), Intel Pentium or AMD 64 or 32 Bit 1.8 GHz CPU, 6 GB RAM, 200 MB free drive space, Mac iOS® 7.0 minimum, 50 MB storage space (Note: Due to Android™ devices having inconsistent OS versions and features between manufacturers and models, EZ-Robot is unable to support all features across all Android devices).
