Rugged Robot is our first ever programmable robot designed for outdoor use!
Boasting Bluetooth functionality and designed for robust challenges, Rugged Robot can be controlled via tablet, iPad or the TTS TacTile Reader.
With a memory of up to 256 steps, Rugged Robot will be able to carry out the most challenging of activities.
With 3 speeds, students can set how fast the robot moves. It also boasts an obstacle sensor which can be turned on and off to prepare students to the more complex programming that lies ahead. The obstacle sensor which can be turned on and off will detect obstacles in front of the robot and reverse and rotate 45 degrees before carrying out the rest of the program.
The Rugged Robot is rechargeable via USB and takes approximately 3 hours to fully charge. Fully charged the Rugged Robot will have approximately 1 hour of battery life.
