Robomaker® vs Creature Crafter

The RoboMaker® kit was created to guide you on an educational journey to introduce you to robotics, logical thinking and coding. By using the 250 and more interchangeable components present in the box, you can build 5 different robots with growing levels of complexity and then programme them in a fun way through this free application. The RoboMaker® app communicates with the robots via Bluetooth® Low Energy and contains 4 different sections, each with their own specific and engaging functions: 1- BUILD In this section the 5 robot models can be reconstructed in 3D, piece-by-piece, in a dynamic and animated way. Whenever you add a new component, you can even enlarge/shrink it and rotate the model by 360° to understand how to connect the various modules. 2- LEARN The Learn section illustrates the basic programming concepts through 10 guided activities (2 for each robot model); which can be completed by creating specific command sequences using the Clementoni block-based programming. 3- CREATE Once you have learnt the basic programming concepts and have familiarised with our block-based programming, you can juggle around with the options in the Create section. In this area, after building a robot of any shape, you can programme it as you prefer. In this case, the activity is performed freely, therefore the app will not signal whether or not you have entered the sequence correctly, so you will have to realise by yourself whether the result meets your objective. 4- CONTROL The Control mode does not entail the use of block-based programming. Through this mode it is possible to control and command in real time the 5 robot models proposed. Each command you send will be executed instantly by the robot, without any delay. Given that the 5 robots are different in terms of both the electronic components used and their functions, there is a specific control page for each one of them. So, what are you waiting for? Enter the RoboMaker® world, step in the programmer’s boots and start this engaging and formative adventure!

Create your own creatures to explore online worlds with friends and collect new parts to upgrade your stats and abilities! Complete quests, battle enemies, challenge friends to minigames, or just have fun roleplaying — the possibilities are endless when your imagination is the limit! The core gameplay loop involves constructing creatures to explore hand-crafted worlds and collecting body parts and patterns to further upgrade your creature. You can then use your newly acquired abilities to complete quests to earn cash and re-invest into your creature. If you’re just interested in creating creatures, however, then simply switch over to creative mode and everything will already be unlocked! The creation tool consists of three different modes: ● BUILD: Customize the shape of your creature by manipulating its spine and attaching transformable body parts. Altering your creature then changes its statistics (e.g., weight, speed, health etc.) and attaching certain body parts gives it special abilities (e.g., flying, swimming, biting etc.). ● PAINT: Change the color of your creature’s body and attached body parts, as well as the pattern and texture of your creature’s skin. ● PLAY: When you’re finished designing your creature, you can bring it to life! Traverse lush forests, swim in the ocean or fly high above the clouds — your creature will procedurally animate to adapt to its environment.
