Elenco Mech-5 Mechanical Coding Robot

Truly innovative-screenless coding. A mission-based STEM coding robot with a mechanical coding wheel, instead of a computer. Mech-5 is “unplugged” – a new concept of coding without a computer or app. Just snap coding buttons onto the coding wheel to initiate movement such as forward, backward, turn, spin, or pause. Screenless coding.

The mechanical coding wheel is the heart of the Mech-5 Mechanical Coding Robot. It steers its coded courses and programmed tasks. Coding is executed effortlessly by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel, directing your robot to perform its basic functions – move forward, backward, right or left, spin or pause. Thanks to this simple-to-follow approach, coding and performing more challenging tasks like throwing, lifting, kicking or drawing, become achievable as the user’s coding skills increase.

This mission-based, entry-level STEM coding robot is designed to inspire users to learn about mechanical engineering principles and coding basics. It encourages children to think while also developing their problem-solving and troubleshooting skills when faced with different tasks and difficulties. Engage in the coding world and beyond by challenging yourself with your very first coding robot.
