Hands-On Robotics Engineering
The Rocky Robot Car is built around a durable metal chassis and programmable controller. Students assemble the car using the included building guide and connect sensors and motors to create a fully functional robotics system. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
The system includes:
- Ultrasonic sensor (distance detection 5–300cm)
- 5-in-1 grayscale sensor for line tracking
- Integrated RGB LED and buzzer
- Remote control unit
Autonomous Modes
Rocky supports built-in robotics behaviours including:
- Line Following Mode – Automatically follows a track using grayscale sensors
- Obstacle Avoidance Mode – Detects and responds to objects using ultrasonic sensing
- Remote Control Mode – Manual navigation via controller
These features allow teachers to introduce autonomous systems, sensing, control logic and real-world robotics challenges.
App-Based Coding & Programming
Rocky can be programmed using the WhalesBot software platform, allowing students to move beyond preset modes and design their own logic sequences and behaviours.
This makes Rocky ideal for:
- Upper Primary STEM modules
- Coding clubs and competitions
- Project-based robotics challenges
- Transitioning to advanced robotics systems
Power & Charging
- Rechargeable 3.7V 2000mAh lithium battery (controller)
- Charging via USB Type-C
- Remote control requires 3 × AAA batteries (not included)
