Simulate Your Very Own Virtual Robot

Robots are expensive and take up a lot of space something robotics schools often deal with. Virtual Robotics Toolkit is a handy application that can help in easing out the problems of learning robotics. This educational application strives to help schools reach more students, especially those with fewer resources. It is a physics-enabled robot simulator that allows users to design and program their digital robot, without the burden of needing a testing space. Students can use the app to troubleshoot or explore how their robots react to various environment and challenges. They can even use the app to improve their skills and test their ideas even when they are at home. With this, students can expand their robotics knowledge without the school shelling out more money for additional resources. It should be noted, however, that Virtual Robotics Toolkit is made for use with the LEGO® MINDSTORMS® NXT™ and EV3™. More so, users must have experience working with Lego Mindstorm to understand how the app works.
