– The chassis, the casing, the wheels, etc. can be produced entirely by using a 3D printer.
Together with the robot there will be an APP for smarphones that will be avaliable at Google Play but while you can download it here.
Technical and pedagogical guide will be avaliable in Resources section.
TEACHING UNITS
The platform also will include 10 Teaching Units. The TU are based on existing games and new ones which can be created from adaptation for adults with disabilities.
