Bello, ma non funziona ne su Linux e nemmeno in Chrome OS a causa del Flash. Un software basato su Flash al giorno d'oggi, è un software perdente poiché Flash sta per uscire di scena e sarà obsoleto tra pochissimo tempo.

It will not connect to the mbot at all. the robot is nice, but the makers stop providing support for chrome based computers which are the most common used in school. Poor choose

Will not connect to mbot. The app does not actually do anything. When opened, none of the buttons respond. My mbot is paired with my chromebook, but the app shows nothing.
