Cortex 5.0 vs RoBico Code

The PCS Edventures Cortex is a drag-and-drop robotics programming environment that generates Arduino code for PCS Brain robotics kits or robot kits of your own design. Using the PCS Brain you can build robots that interact with their environment using sensors and move around using a variety of building systems including fischertechnik(r), LEGO(r), K'NEX, VEX, and others. You can even bolt it on to your R/C car and teach it to follow you like a dog! The rich, game-like programming interface is a great tool for learning how to program in a friendly environment, provides tools for learning Arduino coding, and it works on iPad!

“Connect the blocks, and RoBico moves!” RoBico Code is a block-based coding app that helps children learn coding easily and enjoyably. By dragging and connecting coding blocks, RoBico moves in real life—turning on lights and making sounds! With an intuitive interface that anyone can use, learners naturally develop computational thinking and problem-solving skills while discovering the fun and logic of coding. ● Scratch-based coding for both basic and advanced coding activities ● Connects to the real RoBico robot to directly control its movement, lights, sounds, and sensor ● Easy robot connection and coding with simple drag-and-touch actions
