Description
For use with the engineering kits “Robotics: Smart Machines”, “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition”, and “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” by Thames & Kosmos.
This app is the “brain” of the robotic models you build with the Robotics: Smart Machines kits. The app uses the feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor together with programmed commands to control the models.
App Features
• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection. • Remote-control mode lets you directly control the models’ two motors forward and backward. • Remote-control mode gives you a visual display of the object distance readings from the ultrasound sensor. • Programming mode lets you script and save programs. • Seven programs (Programs 1-7) are preloaded to work specifically with seven of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines” kit. Eight programs (Programs 9-16) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” kit. Eight programs (Programs 17-24) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” kit. • A simple, visual programming language lets you program motors, sounds, and pauses. • Different program segments can be set to run upon first run and then when the ultrasound sensor detects objects at different distances from the model. • Use the 60-page or 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in either kit to learn how to use all of the programming features.

The app works fine. 🙂🙂🙂 The only problem I'm having is that either the motor isn't working or the right control on the main screen is malfunctioning.😑😑😑 Otherwise, the app is really cool and building the robots is really fun!😄😄😄

It wouldn't connect for my packard bell tablet, even though my Bluetooth is version is 7.0, but I used my brothers iphone, and the remote control mode is awesome so maybe android just plain out sucks

This is the best app for robotic learners

Blue tooth will not connect on android. It connected once out of about 30 tries. Very disappointing.

Dec 2025- Using android, app does not connect to robot. If they fix the app, I would recommend this product. As it is now, buy something else.

READ THIS NOW! IT SUCKS! Wow ... really? I mean .... REALLY? Android 10 can't stay connected. Come on people! Fix this please ... stuck at home and the robot doesn't work without a phone. But I found a fix ... remove Bluetooth pack and discard in trash. Purchase new Arduino board, program, add power supply ... then program robot to drive into traffic. Way funner! Went back to store and got some Pokémon Cards and a BB-Gun (BB-Gun to shoot at the still-flinching semi-crushed robot). :)

0 stars if I could. App doesn't work, robot doesn't work. Bad product, do not buy. It doesn't even connect Bluetooth.
