## Robotics Description
For use with the engineering kits “Robotics: Smart Machines”, “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition”, and “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” by Thames & Kosmos.

This app is the “brain” of the robotic models you build with the Robotics: Smart Machines kits. The app uses the feedback from the models’ ultrasonic sensor together with programmed commands to control the models.

App Features

• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Remote-control mode lets you directly control the models’ two motors forward and backward.
• Remote-control mode gives you a visual display of the object distance readings from the ultrasound sensor.
• Programming mode lets you script and save programs.
• Seven programs (Programs 1-7) are preloaded to work specifically with seven of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines” kit. Eight programs (Programs 9-16) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Rovers & Vehicles Edition” kit. Eight programs (Programs 17-24) are preloaded to work specifically with eight of the robot models in the “Robotics: Smart Machines - Tracks & Treads Edition” kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you program motors, sounds, and pauses.
• Different program segments can be set to run upon first run and then when the ultrasound sensor detects objects at different distances from the model.
• Use the 60-page or 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in either kit to learn how to use all of the programming features.

## Robotics Reviews in United States

### *---- "App crashes"
App crashes as soon as we try to connect to bluetooth on iOS 17 and iPhone 13.
-- Akshu116, 2025-01-23

### *---- "App quits when touching circular Bluetooth button in app"
The app is buggy. Cannot connect Bluetooth. Useless
-- This is a very good podcast, 2024-09-29

### *---- "Horrible product"
Every time we try to sync Bluetooth the app closes and restarts. Don’t buy this product or anything from manufacturer
-- Joleen1994, 2024-09-28

### ****- ":3"
Hello!
So I was on the app,It works fine just soemtimes eveything freezes.Idk if it is just me.And the instructions are weird.Like wrong,but you figure it out after while.Its cool tho!I just have to fix it every few minutes…And how do you turn it off?Its hard to take out the batteries ,And it’s just on in my drawer currently lol.But it’s okay in my opinion.I added grips to the wheels to,Becuase it’s works better with grips.But I like it over all👍🏻
-- SummerBunny971, 2024-08-08

### *---- "Does not work. PLEASE GET THE APP WORKING!!!!!"
This is very disappointing, I was really looking forward to play with it but the app DOES NOT WORK!!!
-- ThatManMiller, 2024-01-12

### *---- "Try the Android App"
The app crashes when trying to connect to Bluetooth. I had an android tablet from another project that I was able to install the app on. That connected pretty easily.
-- Usethes, 2023-08-27

### *---- "Why?"
I got the box from my grandma A few days ago. It’s either old or this app is really bad. The dog I made is not going places. So, yes please fix this app or it’s me because I don’t like Lego fakes.
-- YO MAMA!!! :), 2023-06-28

### *---- "Terrible app"
Bluetooth won’t connect and would not recommend unless you have an older device
-- Customer92144, 2023-04-07

### *---- "How newer devices don’t work"
So I’m guessing that the Wi-Fi chip in the newer phones are newer, and the one in the connection receiver is older
-- ifcigcigciycfixgitig, 2022-11-24

### *---- "Not working at all"
This app doesn’t work on any modern iPhone or iOS and there is no way to contact anyone at the app development company to fix the issue.
