What is Robotical Cog?

Robotical Cog is an innovative physical computing device designed to introduce students to coding and technology concepts in an engaging, hands-on way. With its interactive inputs and outputs, Cog allows students to instantly see their code come to life, making complex programming concepts feel simple and exciting. The device features a force-sensitive button, multicolor LEDs, advanced motion sensors, tilt and proximity sensors, a built-in speaker, and connectivity options including Bluetooth, WiFi, and USB-C. Cog serves as the perfect bridge between abstract coding concepts and tangible results, helping students develop future-ready skills through interactive learning.

Cog offers versatile coding environments to accommodate different skill levels through the Robotical App. Students can choose between Junior blocks (suitable for Grade 2+) with text-free symbols in a horizontal layout for emerging readers, or Regular blocks (Grade 4+) with a vertical layout for more advanced functionality. Both environments allow students to save their work directly to their devices or execute code in real-time for immediate feedback. The platform supports various applications including programming light shows to teach loops and sequencing, creating reaction test games to learn conditional statements, and developing musical instruments to explore creative coding possibilities.

In educational settings, Cog is implemented as both an individual and collaborative learning tool. Single Cogs are available from £20/$25, while 10-packs cost £195/$245, making them accessible for classroom deployment. Teachers can utilize the in-app tutorials to guide students through structured learning experiences, while the sandbox mode encourages creativity and exploration. The device can be powered either by two AA batteries or a USB cable, providing flexibility for different classroom setups. Students can see their code manifest both through the physical Cog device and via in-app sprites, which they can personalize along with virtual backgrounds, creating a comprehensive and customizable learning experience.
