Using mBlock, a software that supports both blocked-based and Python programming, Codey Rocky takes children by their hands and leads them into the world of avant-garde technology with its in-built AI and IoT functionalities, giving them a competitive edge in the AI era. ### Features - 10 advanced electronic modules - Expressive LED display - Supports the new mBlock 5 - Switch to Python with one click - Get to know AI and IoT Compatible with Makeblock Neuron - Wireless upload - 2 in 1 - An Innovative Design in Structure | ### Brainy Codey Integrated with over 10 programmable electronic modules, Codey Rocky has many more features than it meets the eye. ### Agile Rocky Not only will Codey Rocky swirl and follow lines, it will also go around obstacles. | ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/2.Codey.gif) | |---|---| ### Software Learning Hardware Creation – the Fun Way to Learn about Programming Harnessing the power of mBlock software, Codey Rocky allows children to create dot matrix animations, design games and realise AI and IoT applications. By programming each and every move made by the robot, not only will children be able to understand each command intuitively, but they will also find it a very rewarding experience through hardware creation. ### Over 10 electronic modules to support your children in turning their imagination into reality Equipped with over 10 electronic modules, including a sound sensor, a light sensor, and an LED dot matrix display, Codey Rocky is a treasure trove of fun that plays music, follows light, mimics facial expressions, and many more with easy coding, empowering children with the skills to turn their imagination into reality and experience the delight out of their achievement. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/4.jpg) ### Programming as simple as playing blocks Hot on the heels of [Scratch 3.0](https://scratch.mit.edu/), mBlock features many powerful functions and promises a truckload of experiences; programming is as simple as assembling building blocks – anyone who reads can learn to program. We also structure the learning process in a series of games of different levels, making programming full of fun while children progress through these games. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/5._playing_blocks.jpg) ### Switch to Python with one click for advanced programming learning Python is a programming language widely used at the forefront of technological advances such as AI and data analysis. Using mBlock software, children write programs directly in Python, and can turn their written block-based programming program into Python code so as to continue learning an advanced programming language. ### Home creation made simple even for a child with IoT technology With built-in Wi-Fi, Codey Rocky quickly connects to the Cloud, realizing its IoT functionality. Through coding, Codey Rocky allows children to obtain data on the weather and make forecasts; and in conjunction with [IFTTT](https://ifttt.com/), they can even automate smart tasks such as sending SMS messages. Children can also transform Codey Rocky into a wearable device, allowing them to make further strides in science projects and realising even more IoT applications. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/5._playing_blocks.jpg) ### AI-ready with cutting-edge technologies – your key to unlocking the age of AI ahead of others mBlock software supports AI functionalities including image and voice recognition as well as deep learning. In conjunction with Codey Rocky, mBlock allows children to come into grips with cutting-edge technologies for the very first time. Through games and applications, they will be able to learn about the logical thinking and principles behind AI as well as how to interact with machines, which are all essential as they prepare for the arrival of the age of AI. ### Packed with comprehensive learning materials, giving children the professional guidance they need Codey Rocky comes with learning materials, example programs and tutorials, supporting children in their learning of programming each and every step of the way: running on the mBlock software, which is compatible with Scratch projects, Codey Rocky benefits from the wealth of reference materials and example programs available from Scratch; its tutorials on creating projects are constantly updated, covering entry, intermediate to advanced levels, while inspiring children with imagination and creativity; and free PBL (Problem Based Learning) programming lessons based on the CSTA course design standards of United States are available to Makeblock users, giving children professional and systematic guidance on programming. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/wysiwyg/product_info/9._Comprehensive_learning.jpg) ### Specifications - Main Control Board/ Chip: ESP32 Chip - Programmable Modules - Codey: LED Display, Speaker, RGB LED Indicator, Buttons, Gear Knob, Voice Sensor, Light Sensor, 6-axis Gyroscope and Accelerometer, Infrared Receiver, Infrared Receiver; - Rocky: Color Infrared Sensor, DC Geared Motor - Connectivity: Bluetooth / Wi-Fi / USB - Power Supply: 950mAh lithium battery - Dimensions: 102\*95.4\*103mm L\*W\*H - Weight: 290.5g ## Images - [Product image 1](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/catalog/product/c/o/codey-rocky-1.jpg)
