I have seen a lot of robots used to teach programming recently. I would like to buy one for my kids but there is just too many and I have a hard time weighting the pros/cons of each! What criteria to use? Is there a definite best? Wheels vs arms vs legs…? Visual or text based programming?
I am mostly interested in practical experiences and the feeling you had using them/watching your kids use them. My kids are 8 and 14.
]Do you have a budget in mind for each? Note that the robot for an 8 year old will be different from that for a 14 year old./:m]
]Do they have any preferences in terms of type of robot? /:m]
While we await your reply, take a look at some categories here:
Elementary: robotshop.com/en/robots-elem … hools.html
High School: robotshop.com/en/robots-high-schools.html
My budget is around 100Euros, I plan to buy one for each.
I want them to have a robot through which they will learn how to code, but I don’t really know the + and - of each type of robots. Something that would make them engage pro-actively in coding.
When I go to your links, the robots look a bit all the same to me, I am not much into tech…
If any forum users have advices and experiences to share, I am eager to hear from them 
Thanks
