 3 IN 1 TRIBO
Product Introduction
TRIBO is a one-of-a-kind DIY Keypad Coding Robot. This mission-based adorable coding buddy is designed to inspire every user with a
beginner-friendly coding method that doesn’t require a digital device (computer/tablet/phone). You can build and rebuild the parts into 3
different designs: Shooter, Doodler and Sweeper.

The unplugged TRIBO features a coding keypad on top of his head, where kids can intuitively master the programming practices. It won’t
take them long to work out! The coding system allows the robot to move in 8 different directions: front, back, left, right, back left, back
right, left rotation and right rotation. Users can effortlessly enjoy the fun of coding simply by pressing the buttons and watching TRIBO
perform the various commands right away!

Easier and smarter than you would expect, TRIBO is the perfect choice for your very first STEM coding robot. Kids can build up their
critical thinking skills, through trial and error, with this ‘easy-to-learn’ educational toy. Once they have managed the coding basics, TRIBO
goes beyond the limits! Set up new and difficult tasks to challenge TRIBO. Building, learning and programming robots has never been
more exciting!
