Features & Capabilities

SAM Root offers an engaging platform to learn programming through hands-on robotics, supporting learners from beginners to advanced coders. It features three progressive coding levels: Level 1 uses drag-and-drop graphical blocks ideal for total beginners, Level 2 introduces hybrid blocks blending visual blocks with code, and Level 3 allows full Python 3 syntax coding for professional skill development.

Users can effortlessly switch between these levels with automatic code conversion, tailoring learning to their pace and expertise. SAM Root connects via Bluetooth to Root coding robots, enabling interactive control of movement, sounds, lights, and sensors while watching code execute in real time. For learners without hardware, a built-in 3D simulator provides a virtual testing environment, speeding up experimentation and creativity. This extension is ideal for students and educators focused on STEAM education, fostering coding and robotics skills in a progressive, accessible way.
