What is the purpose of Ozobots?
Ozobot is a smart robot that can follow lines or roam around freely, detect colors, and can be programmed using visual codes. Your students will learn hands-on about robotics, math and programming. Ozobot teaches them in a fun way so they learn while being engaged and playing.
What is an Ozobot and how does it work?
2 – How does it work? All Ozobots work with a similar premise, using downward facing cameras to detect the color of the line under it. They follow lines using a back-and- forth motion (if the camera detects a change from black to white, the Ozobot will shift to get back onto the line and continue).
How much money are Ozobots?
Ozobot will cost $59.95 when it launches later this year. The package will include the Ozobot, a small plastic carrying pod, a short USB cable, and several mini “track” cards with patterns for the robot to follow.
Is Ozobot worth the money?
It’s provided a unique hands-on learning experience for coding, and I loved hearing my kids laugh and make crazy plans as they worked together to create programs for their robot. If you’re looking for a comprehensive coding experience with hands-on and screen-free options, the Ozobot Evo is a great investment.
Can you use any markers with Ozobot?
It is recommended to use Ozobot markers to ensure that your robot reads the colors reliably. Crayons, dry erase markers colored pencils, water colors and highlighters should not be used with Ozobot. You can also use Sharpie wide chisel tips (in pastel colors for blue and green) or Crayola classic markers.
How long do Ozobots last?
If you want to keep your Ozobot Evo constantly connected via Bluetooth, the battery will last only around 40 minutes (we checked several times) and then, you will need exactly 1 hour to fully charge it.
How long do Ozobots take to charge?
60 min.
A full charge takes 60 min. and supports approximately 60 min. of playtime.
Do Ozobots work with Chromebooks?
Ozobots don’t require apps and will work on practically every internet-capable device. This includes Amazon Fires, Kindles, iPads, Chromebooks, Macbooks, Samsung Notes, iPhones/iPods, Desktop/Laptop computers, and more. You Don’t Need a Device. You can code an Ozobot with just markers and a paper.
How long does the Ozobot battery last?
If you want to keep your Ozobot Evo constantly connected via Bluetooth, the battery will last only around 40 minutes (we checked several times) and then, you will need exactly 1 hour to fully charge it. However, it’s possible to stretch this time significantly for school use.
How does an Ozobot work and what does it do?

How do you give a command to Ozobot?
You can give commands to Ozobot. You can give commands by using colors. Use printout #2: In any of the slots, mark (blue, black, blue) and (red, black, red) and (blue, green, blue). Place Ozobot on the line and see how Ozobot understands the color.
What does the Code Red mean on Ozobot?
As Ozobot drives along the line, Ozobot sees the color sequence red black red. Ozobot has been programmed at the factory to know that this means: “drive slowly”. As you have probably seen by now, the other codes mean “fast” and “turbo speed”.
How does Ozobot know where the line is?
An optical sensor lives in each of these openings. These sensors are Ozobot’s eyes. Each of the sensors sees how bright the paper underneath is. This way, Ozobot can see where the white and where the black parts are and therefore knows where the line is.
