Make Block mBot (For ages 8+)
How the mBot works:
There are a few different versions of the Makeblock robots,
found at https://www.makeblock.com/. This one is the mBot.
Each kit contains 6 mBots, 6 Kindle Fire tablets (loaded with 2 apps), 6 remote controls, and instructions. Build your own obstacle course from boxes, blocks, or plastic cups.

The mBot works with the two apps on the tablet – Makeblock is for manual operation and mBlock Blocky
is used by coding using block programming in the Create feature.
The mBot uses a Bluetooth connection to work with the tablet. Use the touch screen or remote to operate the mBot (the remote needs to be pointed at the robot within a 4-foot distance).
