JITTERBIT - The ultimate Robot for Coding and robotics for kids.
The first member of the XO Skeleton series - the one and only all-in-one educational robot that is developed and made in South Africa.
You don't just buy an educational robot - you buy a complete, nothing else required, adventure in a box with manuals, educational videos and much more.
No more:
- What do I buy?
- Being confused with heaps of mismatched or wrong robots
- Wasting money and see your kids giving up on something that might have been live changing in the adult world.
Here are but a few of the things the JitterBit can do.
In the training guides there are many examples of coding the JitterBit, the video below shows only a Tiny Bit of the code that can be used. Oh, the code at this stage is drag and drop coding blocks, no writing code (yet).
Features:
Some of the features you will get with your JitterBit :
- Bluetooth app
- Drag and drop software development
- Programmable buttons - To add additional functions
- 5 Addressable full-colour LED's on the top
- Rechargeable battery that charges while you code
- It can be programmed easily, without any knowledge.
- It has a full robotics and coding course.
- It’s so easy, your kids can program it from day 1.
- The only skill your kid requires is to know how to use a mouse!
Even more features:
The XO Skeleton range has, as a main feature - ease, fun, excitement and even a bit of entertainment built in. We believe anybody learns better in such an environment. As a minimum the JitterBit will put a smile on yours, and your kids' faces, which is better than the look of confusion and intimidation.. But of course the ultimate goal is for them to learn robotics and coding in a fun way, where giving up becomes what do I build next?
Why will your kids not be able to put the JitterBit down?
- By taking an ordinary microcontroller and placing it into a robot makes the whole experience become alive with fun, laughter and entertainment. The perfect environment to learn something new fast.
- Your kids suddenly start designing and programming their own toys, how cool is that?
- The JitterBit comes with lots of videos, teaching them robotics and coding in an easy way, even the cellphone app challenges and much more.
This little robot comes pre-programmed.
- Scare Function: Clap loudly, and Jitter will look shocked!
- Ticklish Mode: Touch the icon above the LED matrix (its belly) and watch it react.
- Obstacle Avoidance: Jitter reverses when something gets closer than 5cm to its eyes.
- Light Sensor: The LED matrix shows a sun in bright light and a red circle in the dark.
- Dance Mode: Press button B to make the robot dance.
- Jitter Mode: Press button A to make the robot jitter.
- Servo Centering: Press buttons A and B together to center the servos.
