Robomation Lab — Experience the robot block coding environment you enjoyed on your PC, now on your iPad or Android tablet. Control BLE robots such as Hamster, Piobot, Raccoonbot, and Cheesestick using block coding.
You can experience the same block-based visual programming environment on your tablet that you used in your PC web browser. Create code as if assembling blocks, and directly control robots connected via Bluetooth (BLE) using your own programs.
Without complex driver installations or USB dongles, you can start block coding and physical computing immediately anywhere in the classroom with just a tablet.
