The iRobot RT201 Root® rt1 Coding Robot Intro Pack - 2 Pack is a classroom-ready STEM and coding solution designed for small group instruction, teacher demonstrations, makerspaces, intervention groups, and introductory robotics programs. This bundle includes two Root® rt1 coding robots plus curriculum resources and accessories to help students explore coding through movement, drawing, music, touch interaction, color sensing, and problem-solving.

Built for learners ranging from pre-readers to more advanced coders, the Root® rt1 works with the iRobot® Coding platform’s three progressive learning levels: graphical coding, hybrid coding, and full-text coding including Python. Its premium rt1 feature set adds magnetic whiteboard climbing, built-in erasing, and RGB color sensing for highly interactive cross-curricular classroom activities.

🤖 Key Features

• Complete 2-robot intro pack: A practical starter bundle for teacher-led instruction, pilot programs, enrichment, and small group STEM learning.
• 3 progressive coding levels: Supports graphical coding, hybrid coding, and full-text coding to grow with student skill levels.
• Python-supported coding path: Helps students transition from beginner-friendly coding to more advanced text-based programming.
• Magnetic whiteboard climbing: Root® rt1 can travel across magnetic whiteboards for vertical demonstrations and whole-group activities.
• Draw and erase functionality: Program the robot to lower markers for drawing and use the built-in eraser on dry-erase whiteboard surfaces.
• 32 optical color sensors: Detects colors across the RGB spectrum for path following, obstacle challenges, music activities, and creative coding.
• Tap and touch interaction: Four top tap zones allow students to trigger commands and interactive responses.
• Lights, music, and motion: Code the robot to glow, flash, move, react, and play musical compositions.
• Bluetooth® Low Energy connectivity: Connects to supported devices and compatible browsers for flexible classroom use.
• Cross-curricular learning: Supports coding, robotics, STEM, STEAM, math, science, art, and project-based learning.
