iRobot Root Pro Coding Toy Robot, Programmable STEM Educational Toy - RT001

• Root Pro coding toy robot is responsive to touch, obstacles, light, color and sound, you can program your Root to drive, turn, draw, erase, light-up, play music, vertically climb whiteboards and more!
• Begin with graphical coding before advancing to hybrid coding, followed by full-text coding. Suitable for any age or skill level, from pre-readers to blooming hackers.
• Use the free Coding app and its database of activities to control, explore, and play with Root. Even preview how Root will react using the app’s simulation module.
• Graphical Coding - Use drag-and-drop, graphical blocks to teach the fundamental logic skills of coding. No reading skills required!
• Hybrid Coding - Build coding fluency by introducing hybrid blocks that feature a mix of graphics and coding script.

Root is a fun and easy-to-use educational robot that teaches coding, creativity and problem-solving skills to kids from pre-readers through high school. Problem solving is as easy as 1, 2, 3. Compatible only with iPad and iPhone running iOS 10 or later.

Explore your artistic side

Code Root to draw whatever you can imagine from words and letters to amazing fractal creations. Searching for inspiration? Start with some pre-made code for Explore and make incremental changes to see your artwork grow into something uniquely your own!

Compose music

Transform Root into a musical instrument by coding compositions and robot melodies. Looking for more? Use the scan and play abilities to create a color guitar that plays different notes for each color it sees.

Create Games

Build games using your imagination. Race a friend by coding a Root racer. Turn your tablet or phone into a controller and use Root's color sensors to get boosts or slow down.

Blast off with your imagination

Use the magnetic attachment points on top of Root to attach your own 3D printed creations. Code Root's marker holder to make your creations come to life!
