Adjust a sensor's sensitivity and see how it changes what the robot detects.
Robotics practice
Tune the robot, then test what breaks it
Real engineering tradeoffs — payload vs. battery, speed vs. control.
The Robotics Arena is a tuning lab, not a robot-facts quiz: adjust sensors, gear ratio, payload, and battery, then run a failure test to see what actually breaks the build. Every tradeoff you make has a visible consequence.
No account to start. No child data collected unless a parent signs in for reports.
What you'll practice
Real moves, not a quiz wall
Trade speed for pulling power and watch the robot's behavior change.
Push weight and power limits until something has to give.
Find the point where your build breaks, then explain the constraint that caused it.
Questions parents ask
Before you start
No. The free room opens with no sign-in. A parent can sign in separately to see progress reports — nothing is required to start playing.
No — everything happens in the browser simulator. No hardware is required.
The Robotics Arena targets roughly grades 4–9, with easier and harder difficulty bands inside the same room.
Not on the free public room. Data is only stored if a parent explicitly signs in to enable progress reports.
