Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart. - **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE04871:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.) - **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there. - **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description Introducing Bee-Bot, the programmable floor robot. Bee-Bot will bring logic-driven decision making, the very nature of programming, to your student. They can program the BeeBot via the in-built controls to create their own movement-based programs and scripts. **If you're looking for a classroom friendly pack, check out [the Bee-Bot Swarm](https://core-electronics.com.au/bee-bot-swarm.html). It's a 6 Pack of Bee-Bots with a docking station to keep them charged.** - **Interactive Coding** - Using the buttons on the Bee-bots shell, you can enter a sequence of directions and have the Bee-bot perform your 'program'. Great for critical thinking development. - **40 step programs** - With the buttons on the top of the Bee-Bot you can program sequences up to 40 movements long, which educators tell us is plenty for most tasks. - **Straightforward Movements** - The Bee-Bot will move in blocks of 15cm movements accurately and turn 90 degrees at a time. - **Rechargeable, Reusable** - The Bee-Bot comes with a USB cable for recharging, but is completely compatible with Bee-Bot docking stations. - **Teaching Materials and Resources** - Bee-bot is compatible with all the mats and accessories (and Learning Resources) from Bee-Bot programmable robots. ### Using Bee-Bots in the Classroom Once you're familiar with the Bee-Bot controls, you can set forth on planning some lessons around it! Some great ideas we've seen are: 1. Using the project mats and obstacles, work in teams to program Bee-Bot from one side of the mat to the other. 2. Using a blank mat/floor space, have students program Bee-Bot to draw different shapes in groups 3. Have a maze group and a Bee-bot group. The maze group designs a maze on paper that the challenge group has to program Bee-bot to navigate. 4. Use Bee-Bot to create and traverse a number line and do basic addition subtraction 5. Estimation techniques (how many BeeBot steps from A to B) Here's a short video from the team behind Bee-Bot on how you can introduce it to the classroom: As always, we're here to help. If you need help with Bee-Bot and your classroom just get in touch with us.
