Robotiky, a fun way to get kids Kickstarted with coding!

Last week we got the chance to speak with Robotiky about their Kickstarter project. Robotiky is a small programmable toy robot that makes learning how to code simple, digestible and best of all fun! The team prototyped the idea using an mbed-enabled NXP LPC1768 prototyping board, and then transitioned to a full custom design using the mbed HDK for NXP LPC11U24 board based on an ARM Cortex-M0+. The hardware features a voltage convertor, extension port and sensors for speed bumps, light and line following.
