The Pro-Bot is the 'big brother' of the Bee-Bot and
allows more complex programming involving
•Programmable distances;
•Degrees of turn; and
•Use of sensors.
It includes a simple pen mechanism and a standard
connector texta that can be used to draw routes and
reflect upon and record progress.
The Pro-Bot
•Reinforces concepts across 2D Space sub-strands
•Gives students the opportunity to apply positional
language and extend everyday vocabulary; and
•Encourages small group skills.

draw one side of the square then turn 90º but
do this 4 times.
Rpt[ 4

The number you press is how many times the
action within the brackets is repeated.

To change the distance enter the required cm
after the
key eg 40 (40cm straight ahead)
To change the angle, press 30 (a 30º turn to the left)
Repeat commands for a triangle:
Rpt[ 3 10 120 ]
Repeat commands for a ?
