Robotics - Ozobot

We have two different types of Ozobots:

Ozobot Bit
Ozobot Evo

For an explanation of some of the differences, watch this video:

Ozobot Bit

Senses line and color patterns, including those you can draw with thick markers or stickers. the Ozobot will not move until at least one of the five bottom sensors sees a color.
- Black, Blue, Red, Green
- Color Codes

You can also use Ozoblockly to code.

Draw color codes

Drawing code (also works with Evo)

Drawing intersections

Ozobot Evo

Senses line and color patterns, including those you can draw with thick markers or stickers. the Ozobot will not move until at least one of the five bottom sensors sees a color.
- Black, Blue, Red, Green
- Color Codes

The Evo also allows programming using OzoBlockly (http://ozoblockly.com)

Use the Ozobot app to use your programming and play with the Evo, earning coins.
You can also send things from Evo to friends. It is a social
You can remotely control Evo from a smartphone or tablet up to 30 feet.
Users can work together to program.

1. Learn: Watch the videos on this page to learn how to code with pens, how to code with Ozoblockly, and how to transfer the code to your Ozobot.

2. Do Your Challenge:

First, create a code using markers and a white paper to move the Ozobot around the paper, having it go different speeds, choose a path when given a choice of directions, and spin.
Second, try one of the printed games in the packet.
Third, use Oxoblockly (http://ozoblockly.com) to create code that has the Ozobot move around the paper, change lights, play sounds, etc. Make sure to choose the Evo tab in the upper left of the screen. For more information on how to use this language, see the Ozoblockly Tutorial.
Once you are done, you are ready to load it into the Ozobot via the Ozobot app.
Load it directly to Ozobot using Flashing and use instructions on screen.
- Calibrate the Ozobot
  - Set screen brightness to 100%
  - Press the Ozobot power button at least 2 seconds.
  - While the Ozobot is flashing white, hold it against the white spot on the screen. When the Ozobot flashes green, it is successful.
- Load program
  - Turn Ozobot back on.
  - Press load button. Ozobot will flash green when loading
Load it via the app.
- Turn on Evo. Make sure it is connected to the app.
- Choose Play with Code and press run.

To run the program, double press the power button on Evo.

3. Create a Challenge: Create a challenging using the Ozobot for your level(s) that could be used in a makerspace.

4. Create a curricular Tie-In: With your partner, develop a an idea to suggest to teachers for using Ozobot (Bit or Evo) for a curricular purpose. Include an objective, at least one relevant standard that could be included, a description of an activity, and considerations on it implementation (e.g., equipment needs, student skills, grouping, timeframe).
