Tuff-Bot - the Rugged Robot is perfect for both classroom and outdoor use, including the hallway, gym, ballfield, playground, or even the woods! A tough shell, oversized wheels, and adjustable speeds enable Tuff-Bot to handle uneven terrain. Tuff-Bot is adaptable to many settings, taking it beyond the boundaries that limit many robots, encouraging exploration across the curriculum.

Control Tuff-Bot using its onboard directional buttons that send it forward and back, and turn it left or right. Alternatively, the Bluetooth connection offers coding and control of Tuff-Bot remotely with a tablet, PC, Mac, Chromebook, or the TacTile Code Reader. Built-in obstacle avoidance helps Tuff-Bot navigate around barriers, reversing and redirecting as required. Variable settings enable control over pauses and turn speeds, allowing easy adaptation to different environments.

NEW! Free Tuff-Bot Lessons offer guided activities for teachers and students.
