New School Year 2020    
Greetings!
Welcome to this issue of Turtle Talk, the Terrapin newsletter, for the new school year. 
Sports Camera Adds Robot Vision
Equip your robot with the new WiFi-enabled Robot Sports Camera and add a new dimension to coding and exploration. A Robot Sports Camera offers a robot vision that can capture images of its explorations. 
The Robot Sports Camera comes with a mount for Tuff-Bot, Pro-Bot, or InO-Bot which holds the camera securely in place atop the robot. Connect via wifi to watch and record the robot's progress or use the included remote control to take photos. The Robot Sports Camera can transform Tuff-Bot, Pro-Bot, or InO-Bot into a Mars rover. On outdoor-friendly Tuff-Bot a Robot Sports Camera lets students send the robot to examine places they might not be able to access themselves.
The Robot Sports Camera also works standalone and can take still, burst, or time-lapsed photos or videos of a robot project in 4K HD 1080p. The Robot Sports Camera offers a wide-angle lens with 2" onboard display and still and video playback. With the introductory discount, the Robot Sports Camera is an economical way to motivate students to record their efforts and troubleshoot their programs.

Take Another Look at Logo
As the first app designed to make computers a learning tool in the hands of children, Logo was for many their initial experience of technology, programming, and problem-solving. Over the years many students learned to command the "turtle" to create shapes and designs and discover concepts in math, reasoning, and logic.

While the latest version of Terrapin Logo adds many new features to the venerable language, Logo still feels familiar and is easy to start for anyone who has used Logo in the past. Mark Weyl recalls having "lots of fun" using Logo on an Atari 800.   

He recently tried the latest version of Terrapin Logo and, based on his past experience, quickly created a circle of multi-colored triangles, animated them, and finished off his program with a cow's moo, one of many built-in sounds. He noted that, "It seems a bit imperfect, but I'll figure that out." He then licensed Terrapin Logo to continue the Logo explorations he began so many years ago.
