It's baseball season! Combine the excitement of the game with creative coding using Terrapin's new Play Ball! Bundle. The bundle includes the colorful Baseball Mat along with a Blue-Bot, TacTile Code Reader, and Extension Tile Pack in a discounted package.

Blue-Bot is Bee-Bot with a Bluetooth connection. Code Blue-Bot directly using its buttons. Utilize Bluetooth to code Blue-Bot from another device. When controlled remotely, Blue-Bot adds 45° turns and repeat loops to its repertoire.

The TacTile Code Reader makes it easy to transition from buttons to remote control. Line up coding tiles on the TacTile Reader, press the SEND button, and watch Blue-Bot execute the program step-by-step. The Extension Tile Pack includes tiles for 45° turns and loops.

Practice with the Baseball Mat in the Blue-Bot Emulator. Be sure to choose the level that includes turns and loops so Blue-Bot can face the pitcher and then turn to run the bases. Can you code a home run?

Use the Blue-Bot Emulator to control Blue-Bot remotely by clicking the Bluetooth icon and connecting. Use iOS or Android devices with the Blue-Bot app.

The Play Ball! Bundle is only available through the World Series in October, so get yours now!

Don't let the classroom constrain your coding. Tuff-Bot, with oversize wheels and durable body, can accompany students out of the building and into the outdoors.

Program Tuff-Bot to explore the environment using the buttons on the back or remotely via a TacTile Code Reader, the Tuff-Bot Emulator, or the Rugged Robot app for tablets. Turn on built-in obstacle avoidance and empower Tuff-Bot to automatically navigate around trees or other obstacles.

The free Robot Sports Camera that comes with Tuff-Bot records photos and videos of the robot's adventures. Add a Data Logging Backpack to gather temperature, humidity, and light information and turn Tuff-Bot into a scientific exploration device.

Before heading out, practice coding Tuff-Bot with the Tuff-Bot Emulator. Add rocks to the environment to test obstacle avoidance or choose to play miniature golf, croquet, or explore a treasure island.

Free Tuff-Bot Lessons provide an overview of the robot's capabilities and suggestions for student challenges indoors and out.
