KS Cover instructable.jpg

Introduction

Orange Tart is your family's newest friend, as it equally attracts girls and boys, kids, and adults. In fact, Orange Tart is a Lego-compatible robot kit that enables you to build amazing striker, chipper, header, and goalkeeper robots. You can't stop playing with them. Just choose your nation or any color combination for team wear. Then, using a customized joystick app, Tart Arena, and the robots, you can bring all the soccer fun in your hands and enjoy every feature of realistic robotic soccer.

Orange Tart has a special board called Orange Core with a Lego-compatible case. It consists of a built-in gyro sensor, RGB LEDs, and a wireless communication device. Rechargeable battery and powerful motors that can be easily connected to Orange Core. Very convenient for kids. Unleash your creativity by building amazing soccer robots or any creature you can imagine, from insect-like robots to industrial cranes. The only limit is your imagination and physics.

On the learning side, you don't need to design your own activities. The orange Tart set comes with many STEAM activities that help your kids learn the 21st century's essential skills. The set has story-driven challenge cards, a block-based coding language, a STEAM activity mat, and a learn-to-code curriculum book. The challenge cards are step-by-step coding missions that lead your kids on the path to becoming a coder. The block-based coding language works by dragging and dropping the function blocks that use intuitive graphics and are divided into motions, loops, light, and sound. The learn-to-code curriculum book contains hints and suggested solutions for every challenge card. Kids can do trial and error to find solutions for each challenge, which improves their creativity and problem-solving skills. In addition to coding concepts such as algorithms, kids can learn the real-world applications of math, geometry, and AI. Let your kid's imagination go limitless, turn the LEDs on, move your robots, and do fascinating light painting photography for any occasion. Don't forget to share your pictures with your friends!

When the play and learning value of a toy is high, kids will love it, and the unbelievable benefits of playing with it will stay forever. As the most popular sport that equally attracts girls and boys, kids, and adults, soccer is super fun, unleashes creativity, and enhances teamwork. In Tart Robotics, we combined the theme of soccer with hands-on LEGO-compatible robotic technologies for STEAM and coding education. The result is a unique product for your kids; we called it Orange Tart set.

Orange Tart uses the designated grid-type pattern on a STEAM mat to accomplish its missions set by challenge cards. The real-world topics of the challenge cards are step-by-step coding missions that lead kids on the path to becoming a coder. For example, kids can drag and drop function blocks into the coding environment and program Orange Tart to go and how to do it.

Joystick and Block-based Coding Application

Many parents want their children to have future careers in STEAM-related fields. However, they also want their children to learn STEAM through hands-on open-ended play. Robotic platforms are known as one of the best systems for teaching STEAM topics. Moreover, as the most popular sport globally, soccer builds leadership and teamwork skills and forges social bonds. Moreover, many STEAM-related topics such as math, physics, AI, and coding can be taught in the context of soccer. Based on these observations, Orange Tart, as the first DIY educational soccer player robot, is developed to serve these needs.
