Features
Dash
Dash has two drive wheels and a balance
caster that enables it to drive forwards,
backwards, spin, and move almost anyway
you like.
Dash’s head can move relative to the body,
both pan and tilt, and the 12 LEDs in the eye
can be programmed independently to create
patterns and animations.
You can customize Dash’s personality by
changing the color of the side headlights, the
eye animation and greetings. Dash’s ability to
play different sounds, including recordings of
your own voice, add even more fun to play.
Dash’s IR sensors allow it to sense how far
away an object is in front or behind it --
perfect for navigating around the home (or a
maze!). The gyroscope and accelerometer
help Dash orient itself and make better turns.
Encoders in the base motor help Dash plan
its motion better and adjust for different
surfaces, such as carpet and hardwood.
Position sensors in the head motors enable
Dash to accurately move its head, which
improves the ability to perform tasks
accurately, such as playing the xylophone.
Dash has three microphones, that allow it to
detect sound and direction it’s coming from.
Dot
Dot’s eye can be programmed to different
patterns, just like Dash’s. In addition, Dot’s
eye can be programmed to take a color.
Dot has an accelerometer that helps detect
when Dot is moved, shaken, tilted, rotated,
dropped, and so on. These gestures can be
used to program any other robot (or even
used in conjunction with other devices).
Dot can be used as a remote control to guide
Dash along.
Dot has a microphone, and can respond to
sound.
Just like Dash, Dot has various lights and a
speaker that can be used as parts of its
personality.
Pre-recorded sounds, or user recorded
sounds, can be saved on Dot and played
back.
