With Buildy Bots, children can build, explore, learn, and play, for children 5 and up!

Story

Zero-screen time coding!

Buildy Bots coding board uses short-distance wireless technology(NFC) paired with coding blocks. This means coding can happen, without a computer or device! 

Each block represents an action that when placed in sequential order, will create simple to complex programs. Best of all, the blocks use pictures so coding can happen without reading.

 

Buildy Bots Ages Up With Your Child

Starting at age 5, children can build simple machines, but as their fine motor skills develop, Buildy Bots will grow up with them! Build remote controlled robots, code sensors, and collaborate on new inventions! 

Easy Assembly

While Buildy Bots is the perfect toy for play and exploration, it also comes with an assembly manual and curriculum to guide your child with fun activities using the coding blocks. 

 Building Designed For Kids

Buildy Bots makes building easy for kids. Solid frames and smooth edges are designed for small hands to grip. Nuts and bolts lock with ease for seamless assembly. All parts and tools included in the kits are shaped for a child’s hands to grip. 

Simple Motors & Sensors

Play music, light up LEDs, sense objects, and move. Motors and sensors connect easily with no extra tools needed for assembly. 

Remote Control

No need to code right away. The remote control lets the young builder drive their creation before learning to code.

About Buildy Bots

First imagined as UARO (Kid Robot) by RoboRobo, it was the first hands-on coding toy in South Korea. By creating an off-the-computer coding device, young children could build their creativity, hone their fine-motor skills, learn physical computing, and develop 21st century skills, all while playing.

For its North American debut, RoboRobo has partnered with Robolink, inc., renaming UARO to Buildy Bots, because this kit is perfect for little hands to build lots of robots!

Hardware and Curriculum

Buildy Bots hardware and curriculum has been remastered by Robolink to create a series of kits that blends open play and exploration, with structured learning. Each kit brings new hardware, technology, and challenges, all designed to grow with the child.

Buildy Bots Add-Ons

These add-ons are a great way to get the most out of your Buildy Bots!

This Expansion Kit let’s your kiddo build on their own unique creations with more wheels, motor, structural parts, and battery case.

 Expansion Kit $50

Storage Cube $30

This will help you keep Buildy Bots organized!

Shipping

Due to inflated shipping costs, shipping, VAT, and taxes will be calculated and billed at the end of the campaign, when we expect prices to decrease. 

About Robolink

Robolink was established in 2012 in San Diego, California to encourage students to engage with STEM. Our mission is to make STEM education accessible, engaging, and fun. The world is becoming more technology-driven, so it’s increasingly important that we cultivate the next generation of innovators and inventors and make technology accessible to all. We were the first to make a programmable educational drone as well as a self-driving car kit that teaches artificial intelligence.

Risks and challenges

Most of the risks and challenges are behind us. We have completed three successful Kickstarter projects (CoDrone, Zumi, and Rokit Smart,). Our team of educational specialists poured their lives into designing these kits and have been a huge success in Korea. Throughout the testing phase, we worked to perfect the kits based on the feedback of the users. These users had a blast working with our prototypes and were able to create some absolutely incredible robots. And now, Buildy Bots is ready for you. It’s for boys and girls, ages 5-10, and all it’s going to take is your support.

At this point, there is just two hurdles left:

Production: Many of the parts in this kit and curriculum are localized. We have very exacting standards, so creating the molds and manufacturing the components can be very expensive. Thankfully, we have identified some top-tier factory partners who can produce our kits with a very quick turnaround time.

In order to bring the cost down to an affordable amount, we have to order at least 1,000 kits from the manufacturer. To get there, we are counting on you. Pledge right now and we will put you on the list to be one of the first to receive a Buildy Bots kit so your child can start on their adventure in building and off-the -computer coding!

Shipping Risk: Global shipping and warehousing logistics is mind-boggling. We have been working with our shipping partner for a decade and now that logistics is going back to normal, we are really confident to achieve our goal and ship all backers in time.

Things can still go awry. If they do, we solemnly promise to give you full transparency into the issues and solve them in a way that leaves our backers happy and proud to support our company.
