CardBot turns physical programming cards into real robot commands! Perfect for young learners and STEM enthusiasts, CardBot bridges the gap between tangible play and digital coding.
HOW IT WORKS
1. Scan physical programming cards using your phone's camera or NFC
2. Build a visual block program by arranging cards in sequence
3. See the real Python code generated automatically
4. Connect to your robot car via Bluetooth and run the program!
KEY FEATURES
๐ธ Card Scanning
Scan programming cards instantly using camera-based ArUco marker detection or NFC tags. The app recognizes 33 different programming cards across 4 categories.
๐งฉ Visual Block Programming
Drag and drop blocks to reorder your program. Each card becomes a colorful block that's easy to understand โ no typing required!
