What is a KIT De Robotica and why this is the system? B> h4> When ordering KIT De Robotica, you get a nice little box, but that's not all. Just sensors, wiring and motors can be easily bought separately - and it will be cheaper, but that is not enough to create a robot. BQ KIT De Robotica includes:

Portal project, characters and content h5>
 The main portal of the project can be found at http://diy.bq.com/ . From the very first glance it is evident that this portal managed by a professional team. Designers have come up with cute characters: Man, Woman and professors chose a great combination of colors, lots of animated objects in general is beautiful.

Characters and content

Man helps to make robots and a character all assembly instructions printbotov:



Instructions made as clear and colorful, not in all cases they give a quick answer, offering first to understand and solve the problem.

Girl tells about other robotics kit and shows how to use more sensors. By the way, she has a real prototype, a leading video channel and blog Anita:



Professor helps in physics in a separate section and is involved in loading the code examples on the board on the description page printbotov or individual kit components.

Video guide

Perhaps the most difficult to adapt to the Russian portal will find the master (master) on the video guide. Simple Russian voice acting can not do here. Anita is just gorgeous video lessons, constantly coming up with some theatrical moments. It was such emotion and feed can attract or at least not alienate younger audience:



Forum

On the forum you can ask questions and share practices on improving the robot, as did the girl:



It is clear that now the project is completely in Spanish and just preparing for translation into Russian, but to experience and perception of the basic principles is enough machine translation browsers and embedded translation of titles on the channel YouTube. Translation quality will be slightly higher if you choose from Spanish to English, not Russian. However, I think that seeing 3-4 times a video, you can begin to understand and Spanish.

Set of basic sensors and components h5>
 The kit is assembled on a "necessary and sufficient" to create a robot that can perform multiple functions (motion capture and light objects) and react with light and sound, to change the environmental conditions, as well as be controlled by Bluetooth.

The kit is easy to find on the box and lid. So, to create a robot will need:

Software h5> Programming a website http: // bitbloq.bq.com , tabs from which we learn, using what tools he was created by programmers BQ:

To start, you need to pass short registration. It is necessary for the ability to customize the interface (language and a set of modules) and save your code examples in the field of private cloud storage.

Cloud storage is gradually filled Programming Examples of sensors that can be used in the classroom (when reading the dial) and complete draft programming robots.

For a quick overview of the features see a short video:



For correct work need a browser plugin and chrome Codebender. The same works in Yandex browser.

Concept printbotov h5>
 To create a robot BQ KIT De Robotica no default constructor is used, and the elements printed on a 3D printer. This approach allows for the design of functionality and design of the robot as freely as possible and individually.

BQ has developed two basic pritbota to which most of the examples given - головастик and жук in the photos above and continuously collects information about the modifications and new printbotah from the community. So there is much more complex pritboty crab and bulldozer.



Nobody forbids the use of additional elements of standard constructors, paint or any other available means - it's a real DIY. For example, a bulldozer used caterpillar pritbote from one of the sets of LEGO. By the way, you can print them using FilaFlex plastic (the similarity of rubber):

It is very easy to combine parts (gears and blocks) from LEGO set of techniques and invent and print some items that simply can not be in default constructor, for example, the unique shell crab:

This approach is not complicated for very young makers, because they get already developed system is unique and experienced wanting to personalize their creations. In addition, it develops the skills of 3D modeling.

On 2 base models can learn which parts of the robot, we must be sure to provide. For example, fixation of the battery pack, and sensors, balancers, openings for wiring and so on.

In more complex models must be provided, as the robot is in contact with the surfaces, whether he can travel only on a level surface or it can be run on the grass, earth, gravel:



For schools and groups where there are no 3D printers BQ supplied ready kit printed on BQ WITBOX and other elements necessary for assembly (screws, washers, rubber pads):

Tool robot control h5>
 As we all know, the robot can be programmed to a constant motion with the response to the data from the sensors. The simplest of these is the movement on the black line. If you want to take full control of the robot, you need to install the robot on the Bluetooth card and program it to receive instructions through it.

The system KIT De Robotica was decided to use for robot control app for Android RoboPad, which you can find at Google Play . It looks quite natural, given that mass produces BQ Android devices and has its own staff of programmers. Also, do not need to carry a separate remote enough smartphone.

The application provides an interface to manage two types of robots, tadpoles and beetle. It is clear that externally it can be any of the robots, which use two (tadpole type) and four (a type of beetle) servo.



On the screen there is a button just go into automatic mode. This can be used in robotic competitions, part of the job when you need to perform manually, and once on site maps with black stripes, just go into automatic mode.

Extremely useful is the programming mode of the interface and commands the robot with tablet. Without the code, some arrows.

The end. What is the highlight of BQ and why this system will give a light many domestic robotokonstruktoram? B> h4> In conclusion, once again list the main chips, which prompted us to start supplying kits KIT De Robotica in Russia and to support this project, making it a complete system robotosozidaniya in Russian:

- This is beautiful. All the materials and the concept itself looks beautiful and attractive.
- It's not boring. Developed characters and design aimed at a wide audience. We hope that consumers will not only sets children experienced Russian makers, but also a lot of other kids who do not have such powerful examples of creative home.
- This is the system. Kit, programming, management, and 3D printing are perfectly combined in a single system and we are willing to provide it for Russian schools and clubs.
- This individually. Using 3D printing can create fully their robots to make them as unique in design and behavior.
- It's simple. Visual programming tools let you use them for training junior school groups, and you can switch to a text-based language and begin to master it.
- It is necessary. We believe that children need to comprehend the basics of robotics, as a basis for creative thinking and design more complex systems. Faced with the difficulties and get a small victory in the design of small robots, they will learn not afraid of difficulties. Not all, but the best start to put more ambitious goals and will achieve them.

We will be glad if you want to support the project, becoming the leading video tips, creating sample code and save it to a shared folder or start creating new unique printbotov.
