Pro-Bot Robotics

Pro-Bot is a sophisticated turtle robot with coding on board. Like a car, Pro-Bot can move forward and back at any distance and turn left and right at any angle.

Pro-Bot can also do much more. Its built-in pen mechanism allows it to draw as it goes. Pro-Bot can repeat and follow a series of commands, including a main program and subprocedures, making Pro-Bot an ideal hands-on tool for teaching and learning programming. With its built-in touch, light, and sound sensors, Pro-Bot can respond to its environment, making it a great platform for teaching the basics of robotics.

Whether you want to learn about programming, experience robotics, or just have fun, Pro-Bot is a great tool.
