Frequently asked questions

What ages is this robot for?

See the age-range spec. Block-coding robots suit younger learners; text/Python-capable models scale into high school and beyond.

Do you need to know how to code?

No. These start with drag-and-drop block coding and graduate to JavaScript or Python, so beginners and advanced students both progress.

Does it need a phone or computer?

Most pair with a free app on a tablet, phone or computer for programming and updates; some run lessons standalone.
