Formula AllCode deluxe class set

The Formula AllCode deluxe class set gives you ten Formula AllCode robots at a fantastic, discounted price. For study within a class environment, the buggies are contained in an easy to store Gratnells tray and provide you with a set of maze walls and 5x maze mats for your class based activities.

The Formula AllCode robot buggy with Bluetooth capability enables you to program the robot from any host with a Bluetooth connection. The buggy itself includes a fabulous specification, LEDs, distance and light sensors, line following sensors, integrated metal gears and encoders, microphone, speaker and more.

If you are an advanced robotics user, or a beginner looking to develop your robotics knowledge and understand, the Formula AllCode is perfect for you. The Application Programming Interface (API) allows for compatibility with Android and Apple devices, Raspberry Pi, MATLAB, LabVIEW, Flowcode and Blockly visual software and many more.

A full course is available free of charge.
