The Logo Turtle Comes to Life
Bring the Logo turtle off the screen and out into the world with the InO-Bot turtle robot! Send InO-Bot around the classroom with the same commands used to move the Logo turtle around the screen.

Connect InO-Bot to Terrapin Logo with a simple command or by clicking the Bluetooth icon. The screen turtle becomes an InO-Bot image and all movement commands are executed on screen and by InO-Bot at the same time.

InO-Bot holds a pen that you can raise and lower so it can draw just like the screen turtle, a feature that motivates and challenges students. With InO-Bot and a Dry Erase Mat, students can create exciting designs.

A Terrapin Logo Multi-User License now comes with InO-Bot as a special bonus. Combine Logo with a turtle robot to boost learning and fun in the classroom!
