Cincinnati, OH (March 22, 2022) — mimicEducationalRobots is changing the way coding is taught with bitsyBot. The Cincinnati-based small family business launched a new Kickstarter campaign on March 22nd to help advance the development and production of the new technology.
At mimicEducationalRobots we make robots appropriate for all ages and experience levels. We are delighted to introduce you to the newest member of our family of robots, bitsyBot. bitsyBot is a pint sized, 4-inch tall robot programmable robot arm that makes learning robotics fun. Adorable, educational, and endlessly entertaining, bitsyBot is an approachable introduction to programmable robots. Appropriate for kids and adults, assembly is straightforward and uncomplicated using the basic tools included. Programming can begin right away. No computer or tablet is required for programming bitsyBot, making it accessible to all.
Brett Pipitone, the Founder of mimicEducationalRobots is no stranger to Kickstarter. “After a successfully-funded Doorbell Phone campaign on Kickstarter, I began to indulge in my love of robotics and introduced the Cortex:Robot Arm controller,” said Pipitone. “We continued to develop the technology, eventually bringing bringing a similar product, mimicArm to market through a successful Kickstarter campaign.”
The key to bringing bitsyBot to life is the simple and intuitive 10 button controller. The user operates bitsyBot’s intuitive controls using the 8 position buttons (up/down, left/right, forward/back, and grab/release), and programs the robot by simply pressing the “record” button. When the “playback” button is pressed bitsyBot will repeat the motions just recorded. bitsyBot can even detect inputs from sophisticated add-on sensors that allow the program to be activated by an external button, a proximity sensor, or even another robot.
This assemblage of new technologies allows the user to see immediate frustration-free results without the risk of outgrowing the robot in a short time. The infinite expandability and endless programming possibilities will keep even robotics experts captivated.
mimicEducationalRobots is offering bitsyBot and three add-on products now on Kickstarter. All add-ons can be added to any bitsyBot through Kickstarter at the time of order.
• bitsyBot includes everything you need, including all robot parts, required tools, and even blocks for bitsyBot to play with.
• Add-ON: buddyCable includes two buddyCables, which allow two or more robots to communicate with each other. This add-on allows the user to make complex cooperative projects.
• Add-ON: greatBigButton includes one big, brightly colored button. A press of the button will activate bitsyBot’s program and allow for human interaction. It’s a great first step into more sophisticated robotics.
• Add-ON: proximitySensor is a sophisticated sensor that detects an object in front of bitsyBot without even touching it. The ultimate in human interaction, the proximitySensor allows the user to interact with bitsyBot in a cooperative way, with bitsyBot reacting to human actions.
Get to know bitsyBot’s many talents using our collection of downloadable activities and educational resources. Users love bitsyBot’s high-tech capabilities that allow bitsyBot to interact with humans and even cooperate with other robots. bitsyBot is a versatile and fun way to learn about robotics. She will capture your imagination and, when she looks at you with those big, bright eyes, perhaps even your heart!
