Features & Capabilities

CB1 Blockly Programming App for Robotics Workshop

For use with the engineering kit “Robotics Workshop” by Thames & Kosmos

CB1 Blockly is a visual programming app based on Blockly. It allows you to write programs to control the robots you build with the Robotics Workshop kit. You can write visual programs with drag-and-drop code blocks in the app and then send the programs to the CB1 core controller on your robot models to make the motors turn, the buzzer sound, and the LEDs flash. You can write programs that use sensor input from the light sensor, sound sensor, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, and touch sensors to command your robots to interact with their environments.

App Features
• Connect to your models via Bluetooth connection.
• Programming mode lets you script and save up to 20 programs.
• Ten demo programs are preloaded to work specifically with the ten robot models in the kit.
• A simple, visual programming language lets you use input data from two touch sensors, distance (ultrasonic) sensor, light sensor, sound sensor, and variable resistor knob to control four motors, 2 LEDs, and speaker.
• Use the 64-page, step-by-step illustrated manual included in the kit to learn how to build the models and write the programs.

Note:
• Because of the large number of Android devices on the market, it is impossible for us to recommend specific Android devices.

User Reviews

Overall, users report major stability and usability problems with CB1 Blockly on Android. A significant number note installation or launch failures (error codes, app not starting) across multiple devices and phones. Those who get it running describe very slow, non real-time and sometimes erratic robot control, with performance hindered by limited documentation. The mobile UI is criticized for being too small, making it hard to use on phones, and some users ask about remote connectivity since USB is often required. A few reviewers share positive sentiments, but the recurring issues dominate the feedback.
Pros
Cons
  • App installation/launch failures across devices (e.g., error -504; won't run on multiple phones).
  • Very slow, inconsistent, non real-time robot control across devices, with poor performance and erratic behavior.
  • UI on mobile is too small and not fitting screen; limited work area and usability.
  • Requires USB connection for operation; limited remote PC connectivity.
  • Poor documentation and mismatch between manual and app options.
