What if we told you there's a tiny, little robot (less than 200 grams) that teaches coding and can engage your kid for hours? Yes, we are talking about Robobloq Qobo. And, it's not just another toy that merely moves forward or back. You can use it to teach even conditional statements of programming. No wonder it is gaining a lot of popularity among teachers and students seeking the best educational robot in India.

Let's have a look at all the features of this educational robot in detail.

Light and durable body

Compared to other similar educational robots in India, Qobo is exceptionally lightweight, though the body is quite durable. Its white face with a little smile and bulgy eyes makes it a cute little robot that kids love to play with.

Compatible with Lego Bricks

You can connect Lego pieces on the nubs (spaces) present on its shell. About a dozen Lego building blocks could be connected at one time, which should be equal to 100 grams. Please do not put a lot of weight over it, as it might harm the robot.

Comes with an activity mat

There's a large, nylon mat that's quite colorful and durable. The map is basically in the form of a map with popular destinations from across the globe, such as Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa, and Taj Mahal. The Indian teachers can use this educational robot to plan out activities and challenges.

30 Pre-Programmed Cards
Unlike other programmable educational bots, Qobo has 30 pre-programmed cards with one representing a unique function. You can either fit them in sequence like puzzle pieces or use them to scan the set of commands. The major types of cards that come with Qobo include:
Start and Stop - As the name suggests, these cards command the bot to start or stop executing the set of commands. A user needs to place all other cards between these two.
Direction cards - There are forward, right, and left turn cards that move the Qobo in the specified direction.
Train card - Qobo creates a sound effect of a train while on this card and then moves a step ahead.
Dance Card - After singing and dancing, Qobo moves a step ahead.
Light Cards - You can change the lighting effect to a specific color using these cards. The Qobo comes with blue, violet, green, yellow, and indigo cards.
Loop Card - Teach loop function to kids with Loop Cards. There are Loop 3-Times Card and Loop 6-Times Card that are two be used in conjunction with Loop End card.
Condition Card - Teach If/Else functionality of coding using Condition Card.
Help-to-move Card - A user needs to pick it up and skip a step if Qobo reaches Help-to-Move Card.

Two programmable modes
A user can program it using one of the two modes: Game Mode and Free Mode. In the Game Mode, the cards are to be placed in sequence like a puzzle on which Qobo moves and reacts according to the command of each card. For Free Mode, the Qobo first scans all the cards and then moves on any plain surface while executing the commands.

on

Robobloq has its own smartphone app that you can download to control Qobo. It is beneficial for introducing block-based programming to the kids.

To further enhance the learning, Our STEM Box offers an additional activity book with 15 unique challenges. By solving these challenges, the kids gradually develop problem-solving and logical thinking skills.

As we have mentioned above, all these features have made Qobo one of the most loved educational robots in India.
