Bee-Bot is an exciting robot designed specifically for use by young children. This colorful, easy-to-operate, and friendly little robot is a perfect tool for teaching counting, sequencing, directionality, problem-solving, estimation, and just having fun!

The See & Say feature gives Bee-Bot a voice and perception! Record each of the arrow keys to play back when entering a program or when Bee-Bot is following one.  Bee-Bot See & Say can also detect and respond with either a beep or a pre-recorded message when encountering another See & Say Bee-Bot or Blue-Bot.

Sturdy construction and colorful design entice children to put Bee-Bot through its paces. Directional keys are used to enter up to 200 commands which send Bee-Bot forward, back, left, and right. Pressing the green GO button starts Bee-Bot on its way. Bee-Bot blinks and beeps at the conclusion of each command to allow children to follow Bee-Bot through the program they have entered and then confirms its completion with lights and sound. Children want to use Bee-Bot over and over and are inspired to enter ever more creative and complex command sequences.

All robots come with their own USB cable for charging individually. Pair them with our Six-Bot USB Charger to charge up to six of any robot at once, or charge just Bee-Bots and Blue-Bots cable-free with their own Docking Station. USB Wall adapters are sold separately.


PLEASE NOTE: To preserve battery life, try not to leave 'bots charging after they have been fully charged. Additional information about the rechargeable batteries in this product can be found on our Battery FAQ's page.
