PI2GO Raspberry Pi Programmable Floor Robot (Basic Kit)
The Pi2Go is a Raspberry Pi controlled robot designed to unleash the power of Raspberry Pi in your classroom. The Pi2Go is Raspberry Pi Model B and B+ compatible and can be controlled using Scratch or Python. As it comes pre-assembled all you need to do is mount your Raspberry Pi and start programming.
The transparent case not only protects the components but also allows you to see what is happening as it follows the commands of your on screen programming. With a wide range of inputs and outputs to program, the TTS Pi2Go is the ultimate programmable robot and is perfect for project based work.
Let the students design, plan and write their program and once they're confident it'll work, try it out on the Pi2Go! The Pi2Go can be controlled and programmed wirelessly using Wifi or programs can be downloaded onto Pi2Go using the USB drive.
- Individually program and monitor the various inputs and outputs (line follower, ultra-sonic sensor, RGB LEDs, motors, light sensor)
- Input sensors allow user to control variables such as distance and light
- Interact via Wifi or loading your program directly on to Pi2Go via USB
- Compatible with Scratch and Python programming languages
- Raspberry Pi Camera can be attached
- Example programs provided to get you started
- An online support site to discover the best way to get the most out of Pi2Go
- Pre-assembled
- Transparent protective case also keeps components secure
- Enhance Computing lessons with real life application of programming
- Write your program on screen and see Pi2Go come to life
- Suitable for KS2 upwards
What is Raspberry Pi
For absolute beginners, it’s important to know about Raspberry Pi before we explore the robot.
Raspberry Pi is a compact, small-sized and low-cost computer that plugs into a monitor or TV, and uses a standard keyboard and mouse. It enables people to explore computing and learn to program in languages like Scratch and Python.
Transparent Case – Safe and Fun to See
The transparent robot case serves two purpose; it is specially designed to keep Pi2Go safe from every kind of external hazards. Also, to help you look through the case for understanding how technically everything works for better learning experience.
Programmable Modules
Pi2Go has an extensive range of inputs/outputs to program, helping you to gain maximum knowledge from your projects while enjoying your classroom time as well. Learning to control the inputs and outputs of modules is fun. All the different modules such as line following, ultra-sonic sensors, motors, RGB LEDs etc. can be controlled.
Wi-Fi Supported
The robot can be controlled via Wi-Fi or the commands can be directly programmed into Pi2Go using the pen drive.
Limitless Practical Learning
Knowing that students will only learn for good in a safe and protective learning environment gives confidence to teacher and parents to use this robot. At the same time, kids learn to plan, wireframe, design and program in minimal time.
Mindset Growth and Exposure
These practical project benefit kids in two primary ways. First, it creates interest and help kids to focus, build mental stamina, power to think and implement solutions. Second, it teaches them to be patient, learn to understand the process, pay attention to details and they get more attached to learning in whole.
