- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/CE05670:1.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.

This pack will bring logic-driven decision making, the very nature of programming, to your student. They can program the BlueBot via the app (all platforms supported) or using 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 Blue-Bot Swarm](https://core-electronics.com.au/blue-bot-swarm.html). It's a 6 Pack of Blue-Bots with a docking station to keep them charged.**

- **Interactive Coding** - Using the buttons on the Blue-bots shell, you can enter a sequence of directions and have the Blue-bot perform your 'program'. Great for critical thinking development.
- **Rechargeable, Reusable** - The Blue-Bot comes with a USB cable for recharging, but is completely compatible with Bee-Bot docking stations.
- **Bee-Bot compatible** - Blue-bot is compatible with all the mats and accessories (and Learning Resources) from Bee-Bot programmable robots

- **Improved turns and movements** - With 45 degree turns being added to the collection of moves, student will be able to program for more shapes/puzzles.
- **See what makes things move** - The transparent case allows students to see the parts inside moving and interacting to develop an intuitive sense of what makes robots move.
- **See and Say** - Blue-Bot See & Say can also detect and respond with either a beep or a pre-recorded message when encountering another See & Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.
 
### Using Blue-Bots in the Classroom

Once you're familiar with the Blue-Bot controls and app, 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 Blue-Bot from one side of the mat to the other.
2. Using a blank mat/floor space, have students program Blue-Bot to draw different shapes in groups
3. Have a maze group and a blue-bot group. The maze group designs a maze on paper that the challenge group has to program blue-bot to navigate.
4. Use Blue-Bot to create and traverse a number line and do basic addition subtraction
5. Estimation techniques (how many BlueBot steps from A to B)
 
As always, we're here to help. If you need help with Blue-Bot and your classroom just get in touch with us.
