MicroWorlds EX Robotics

MicroWorlds EX Robotics comes with all the features of MicroWorlds EX plus full programming capabilities for the Cricket robot, palm sized micro computer, and the LEGO RCX® Brick. With it, students are scientists and inventors as they plan projects, construct models, and EXPLORE BIG IDEAS. Whether building airplanes or puppets, cars or toys, students acquire significant science, technology and math skills as they construct and program their models.

What students can do:

• Build a model and control it using the procedures you download to the Cricket or to the LEGO RCX® programmable brick.
• Test programming ideas by sending instructions from the computer via the LEGO® infrared tower to the RCX brick or via the Interface Cricket to the Cricket.
• Your model can also gather data as it runs - data that can be displayed using other MicroWorlds EX Robotics features.
• Use MicroWorlds' EX features to build an onscreen presentation or simulation in which an onscreen event triggers the model to start.
