The Pro-Bot is the 'big brother' of the Bee-Bot and allows more complex programming involving
•Programmable distances;•Degrees of turn; and•Use of sensors.
It includes a simple pen mechanism and a standard connector texta that can be used to draw routes and reflect upon and record progress.
The Pro-Bot•Reinforces concepts across 2D Space sub-strands •Gives students the opportunity to apply positional language and extend everyday vocabulary; and•Encourages small group skills.

To simplify typing in commands, you can use the Rpt[ key.
To draw a square, you can set the Pro-Bot to draw one side of the square then turn 90º but do this 4 times.
Rpt[ 4 ] The number you press is how many
times the action within the brackets is repeated.
