The Marty The Robot V2 (5x) offers an engaging and educational experience in robotics and coding. It is designed to facilitate learning through programming in various languages, ranging from simple block-based coding in Scratch to more advanced languages like Python. Marty is equipped with a unique leg design that enables it to perform a variety of movements such as walking, dancing, turning, side-stepping, and kicking, providing a dynamic and interactive experience.
Marty is fitted with an array of interactive sensors, including position, tilt, proximity, and force sensors, along with a built-in speaker. These features allow Marty to interact with its environment by talking, playing sounds, and even shaking hands. Standard features include an IR obstacle sensor and a color sensor, enhancing its ability to navigate and respond to its surroundings.
The robot also includes LED disco lights, which are a popular feature, allowing users to program different colors as reactions or transform Marty's eyes into disco balls for added entertainment. Marty is suitable for all coding abilities, offering programming options through MartyBlocks Jr, MartyBlocks, Python, and even professional-level coding with a Raspberry Pi and the Robot Operating System (ROS).
Marty is highly expandable and customizable, encouraging users to add extra sensors such as temperature, noise, and light sensors, or integrate a camera, Raspberry Pi, or micro:bit. Users can also 3D print custom parts to further personalize their robot, making Marty a versatile tool for learning and creativity.
The pack includes a comprehensive set of resources to support educators and learners. A printed Educators Guide is provided to facilitate structured learning, while color coding card packs offer opportunities for screen-free coding activities. Additionally, premium colored programming tiles are included to further enhance the learning experience. Each robot comes with its own case, ensuring easy storage and transport, and the pack includes a charging cradle with multiple slots to keep the robots powered and ready for use.
Note: Ensure proper handling and supervision when using the robots to prevent any potential hazards associated with electronic devices.
