CB1 Blockly
For use with the engineering kit “Robotics Workshop” by Thames & Kosmos
CB1 Blockly is a visual programming app based on Blockly. It allows you to write programs to control the robots you build with the Robotics Workshop kit. You can write visual programs with drag-and-drop code blocks in the app and then send the programs to the CB1 core controller on your robot models to make the motors turn, the buzzer sound, and the LEDs flash. You can write programs that use sensor input from the light sensor, sound sensor, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, and touch sensors to command your robots to interact with their environments.
App Features
• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Programming mode lets you script and save up to 20 programs.
• Ten demo programs are preloaded to work specifically with the ten robot models in the kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you use input data from two touch sensors, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, light sensor, sound sensor, and variable resistor knob to control four motors, 2 LEDs, and speaker.
• Use the 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in the kit to learn how to build the models and write the programs.
Note:
• Because of the large number of Android devices on the market, it is impossible for us to recommend specific Android devices.

the app interface is too small so it cant fit on my mobile device screen it works fine on pc but you have to keep the usb plugged in. so is there a way to make the pc able to connect to the robot remotely if so then please make it that way.
Amazing app, love it so much! I've wanted a robotics kit since I was a little girl, and I finally got one!
problems programming unit. manual shows option not found in app. how do you download a program to unit?
This game does not use any robots and it's a pretty cool game it gives you a tour of what blockly is
This app didn't fit on my screen and I only can do only the work table.
The app simply won't work with an Android Galaxy Tab A. Tech support couldn''t solve the problem and I've spent hours trying to troubleshoot it. So now I've spent over $200 on the robotics kit and $300 on a tablet that met all the required specifications listed on the Thames and Kosmos website. Over $500 for what is essentially a $30 set of Duplo building blocks. Buyer beware!
App installed but would not run. Tried to download app on multiple phones
App does not install. Fails with error code -504.
Love it
It is awsome
Unfortunately only very poor control of robot possible. Several android tablets tried. Acer 7" running android 6.0 seemed to work ok but slowly. Unfortunately not really 'in real time' so disappointing. Very slow - I mean can be Really slow. Later tried Acer 10" running android 7. At first would not work, and then tried it with gps 'on', then suddenly started working. Somewhat erratic. Poor performance made even more difficult by poor documentation. Lego much much better i think.
