The Pro-Bot is a floor robot incorporating more advance concepts than Bee-Bot, many of which were the idea's put forward by teachers.

Key Features include:

  • Bright attractive car design, with child appeal
  • Robust and durable to withstand everyday use

  • Can be used simply by programming arrows or accepts more complex commands
  • Routes taken can be drawn using our simple pen mechanism and a standard felt tip pen
  • Fully functional headlights using light sensors
  • Bumper sensor
  • 4 locators points on the body allows the use of K'NEX®

    Please note that the Probotix software is not compatible with Vista and Windows 7.
