What is Robotics? The Robotics: Smart Machines app is designed to be used with the engineering kits “Robotics: Smart Machines”, “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition”, and “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” by Thames & Kosmos. It serves as the “brain” of the robotic models built with these kits, using feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor and programmed commands to control them.



Software Features and Description

1. Eight programs (Programs 9-16) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” kit.

2. Eight programs (Programs 17-24) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” kit.

3. • Seven programs (Programs 1-7) are preloaded to work specifically with seven of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines” kit.

4. For use with the engineering kits “Robotics: Smart Machines”, “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition”, and “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” by Thames & Kosmos.

5. This app is the “brain” of the robotic models you build with the Robotics: Smart Machines kits.

6. The app uses the feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor together with programmed commands to control the models.

7. • Remote-control mode gives you a visual display of the object distance readings from the ultrasound sensor.

8. • A simple, visual programming language lets you program motors, sounds, and pauses.

9. • Remote-control mode lets you directly control the models’ two motors forward and backward.

10. • Different program segments can be set to run upon first run and then when the ultrasound sensor detects objects at different distances from the model.

11. • Programming mode lets you script and save programs.

  • Product/App Are Both Bad

    By Anonymusly Anonymus. (Pcmac user)

    We built the robot exactly right, following the instructions. We made sure to build it correctly, but the tracks aren’t the right size. We tried to switch the track from the sides, but then we realized that one is bigger than the other. The instructions say “Ax2” and “Bx2” and to connect them, and do it for the other side as well. We did exactly that, and yet one track is still quite a bit bigger than the other one. Also, the app also isn’t quite user friendly. I would only buy this if you want to be disappointed and to waste your money. We made sure to do everything correctly, but still, it won’t work. And we measured the tracks, and one of them is always one centimeter bigger. The motors also don’t have any strength, even with completely new batteries. We tried everything to get it to properly work, but it doesn’t work. The tracks are messed up, it could use a little more stability, and the app should be more user friendly. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT UNLESS YOU WANT TO WASTE YOUR MONEY AND BE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE RESULT!
  • Help?

    By DaTimthy22 (Pcmac user)

    Hello, I bought this item for my child, and the building part was great, it was a blast for me and him. (Hence the 2 stars) But then my son wanted to make the beetle move. Well... your app is a great idea yet it is very hard to learn, it makes c++ look like html. If you want people to ever buy from you again, might I suggest adding a guide to help us understanding how this works. Right now the building was fun but the programming made me sick to my stomach. ~Confused/Mad parent
  • This is a great app

    By mason in my new name (Pcmac user)

    This app works great. The only problem is that the robot goes slower than I thought. Other than that the app works really good. It is not the app’s fault that the robot is not that fast.
  • App Doesn’t Work

    By Mssmart (Pcmac user)

    Build the robot according to instructions and was eager to start programming, but the app doesn’t work. Bluetooth disconnects and the app becomes useless. Pretty cool building experience, but we bought the product for the programming activities in addition to the building exercises. Disappointed that we can’t program.
