Edison Educational EDIBOT-2 Robot Kit - STEAM Education Robotics and Coding

Named to reflect an "inventive spirit," Edison Robot is the result of a genuine passion for innovation and a vision to make electronics, engineering, robotics and programming accessible to as many people as possible. These LEGO® compatible educational robots are clean, safe, reusable, expandable and robust, providing students across all grade levels, from ages 5+, with a range of combinations, and possibilities.

Along Edison's face are Lego-compatible plates that allow the Edison robots to be scaled up into sophisticated creations, or even combined and doubled up for a more complicated system. Each Edison robot features a host of sensors and can be programmed using a growing number of FREE software applications:

EdWare graphic robot programming software for the Edison Robot, using drag and drop graphical icons (similar to Scratch and other graphical drag-and-drop programming languages) - making programming fun and easy to learn. Available for Windows, Mac, Linux, iOs (iPad), Android and Chrome

EdPy the easy to learn, high readability and very popular Python programming language. EdPy teaches a real life programming language and makes text-based programming fun and easy.

Each programmable Edison robot interacts with the world via infra-red (IR) transmitters and receivers, line tracking, barcode reading, playing sounds and music, plus sound detection. It's also equipped with two motors with variable speeds, left and right red LED lights and three control buttons.

One Edison can communicate with another over IR, with the units also able to be programmed by and controlled with TV and DVD remotes. Each bot is powered by a set of AAA batteries.
