The Ozobots are coming

Mini robots bring fun to coding, programming and robotics

Ozobot follows pathways you hand draw, or map out on a tablet.

Ozobot, from €55 Back at CES in January, we saw the Ozobots in person for the first time. This clever little robot is programmable, and where you lead, it follows. Well, as long as you're leading a colourful line and it's drawn on a surface the Ozobot can read. That's what Ozobot does: it follows pathways you hand-draw, or map out on a tablet.

It's essentially a fun way to introduce robotics, programming and coding to kids and adults alike. As you get more advance, you can create mazes and games for Ozobot to follow and solve, and even make the robots dance. And as a nice little extra, each Ozobot has LEDs that will automatically match the colour path you instruct it to follow. Ozobot.com, Firebox
