Start using these robots by sending simple commands, learn programming concepts as you play, and progress to creating more complex algorithms.

Dash is an app-controlled robot with plenty of personality who explores any room, getting into funny situations and adventures. Using sensors, Dash can detect objects in front and behind, hear where sounds are coming from, and run programs you code from the push of a button.

Dot is a puppet master who instigates the adventures that Dash goes on. Tossing, shaking, or picking up Dot can send a signal telling Dash what to do. Dot can also tell stories using lights, sounds, and eye expressions. In order to interact with Dash & Dot you need one of the supported Android or iOS devices.
