The inO-Bot is a programmable floor robot designed to introduce students to coding, robotics, and problem-solving. Students can control the robot using buttons, a remote, or block-based coding platforms. With features like movement, sensors, lights, and drawing attachments, the inO-Bot helps students explore coding concepts in a hands-on and engaging way.
