The Battle Flipper is a great way to learn robotics and have fun.
It's a remote controlled robot with a Camera that features advanced features like vision tracking, speech recognition, AI and more.
Do not under estimate the potential of this little robot. Using the same controller as its higher priced counterparts, the Battle Flipper also uses the EZ-B v4 Smart Robot Controller and EZ-B Camera Block. This may be an affordable entry level EZ-Robot, but it can be expanded using additional EZ-Bits in the future. For example, the base of the Battle Flipper is from the Six Hexapod. By adding additional new body parts and sensors, the only limit is your imagination!
ROBOTICS EDUCATION AT HOME AND IN THE CLASSROOM
At home or in the classroom, EZ-Robot has a big impact on STEM education.
With more than 100 free tutorials, activities and lessons, your exploration into robotics has never been easier. Personalize your EZ-Robot with new behaviors - teach it how to walk, talk, see, hear and interact with it's surroundings. Combine it with a wide range of sensors and output devices to solve problems using science, technology, engineering and mathematics. A self-directed robotics curriculum for in-class instruction and an after-school robotics curriculum are also available.
Learn about robots and have fun doing it!
SOFTWARE THAT'S EASY TO USE
If hardware is the heart of your EZ-Robot, then software is the soul. ARC is an easy-to-use, versatile and powerful robotics software platform that scales with users as their programming skills grow.
Users can begin learning coding with “Drag and Drop” languages like RoboScratch and Blockly. As their confidence and expertise improve, they can transition to text-based coding languages like Python, JavaScript, and EZ-Script (a C# derivative).
Easily add advanced robotics functionality such as camera tracking, speech recognition, Wii controllers, sensors, Artificial Intelligence (Microsoft's Cognitive Services) and more!
TEACH YOUR ROBOT ANIMATIONS
The Auto Positioner in ARC is used to animate EZ-Robot movements. It's like magic! Simply move your robot into positions to create an animation routine. Play back actions based on triggers, such as when the robot sees your face or responds to a voice command. It's easier than ever to teach your robot how to move, dance, climb stairs and more!
MOBILE CONTROL
Take the fun with you wherever you go! Use an Android or iOS mobile device to control and program robot movements and functions.
EZ-ROBOTS ARE VISUAL LEARNERS
A robot wouldn't be a robot without a camera to interact with its environment. Each EZ-Robot comes with a camera installed in the head, for advanced vision learning, detection and tracking. Your EZ-Robot can be programmed to recognize colors, objects, faces, motion, glyphs, and more.
SIMPLY CLIP AND PLAY
Customize your robot with EZ-Bits. All EZ-Robots include EZ-Clip connections making innovation and customization as fast as it is fun. Simply slide the tab into the slot to establish a secure bond. The parts may be separated again by sliding them apart. Multiple EZ-Bits can be connected together to make arms, legs, or anything else you dream up!
LIVE STREAMING VIDEO
Get some perspective! Now you can see what your robot sees with live real-time streaming video. View the video on your mobile device or PC... or take it to the next level and add Google Cardboard or VR glasses for an immersive experience that allows you to control your robot using head movements.
STREAMING AUDIO - MUSIC, VOICES, OR SOUND FX
Robots need a voice! The EZ-B has a built-in speaker to stream audio in real-time from the PC or Mobile Device. Play music, sound effects or even text-to-speech through your robot or IoT project.
3D PRINTABLE OPEN SOURCE PARTS
The 3D printable STL files for all EZ-Bits and robot parts are available in the ARC Software. Customize and 3D print your own robot parts and designs... and then share them with other EZ-Robot users from around the world!
THE EZ-B IS YOUR ROBOT'S HIGH TECH BRAIN
At the heart of over 20,000 robots worldwide is the EZ-B v4 Smart Robot Controller - a powerful and compact robot brain suitable for all skill levels, from beginner to advanced. The stylish white plastic shell protects the speaker and electronics, with a speaker chamber for enhanced audio. For advanced users, the EZ-B may be removed from its casing and mounted directly in your custom robot.
