ooBug Educational Robot
The ooBug (pronounced oo-bug) is many things. It is a complex educational robot with advanced technologies on board. It is a toy or hobby robot capable of running many custom behaviors for fun and competition. Most of all the ooBug is a friend, perfect for students, hobbyists and professionals.
Although the ooBug is a complex robot there is no need to program it, we have done the work for you. The ooBug comes to you with a basic behavior installed and if and when you are ready you can simply download a new behavior from our website and install it in your ooBug. Share behaviors with your friends via the internet, a memory chip or even by cloning.
If you decide you want to change the way a behavior operates or create your own behavior you simply use the included software and create your own behavior code using our oopic basic programming language.
For the advanced hobbyist or professional engineer we have made it simple to expand the ooBug. You may write code on oopic basic, C, assembly and there is an expansion port designed to accept the PICkit 2 and MPLAB® ICD 2 In-circuit Debugger/Programmer.
- The ooBug is a competition grade robot capable of competing in many different robotic events. It has many complex features that allow it to indicate its mood, hunger and overall condition. You have to wonder if it's alive..
- Educators find the ooBug to be an exceptional teaching tool/toy. Your students will be having so much fun they will not realize they are learning. Using ooBug robots is the best way teachers can put the fun back into learning math and science.
