KIKI vs DOT and DASH

Published on Sep 26, 2014


This video is all about Dot and Dash, two magnificent robots by Wonder Workshop (formerly Play-i).

While the robots are hours of fun for all ages, they still had a few hitches as of last month. It was a little tricky to keep them connected to the app, and the app would randomly freeze or shut down once in a while. I had a puzzle piece get lost on me at one point, causing Dash to dash away, even when he was only supposed to display an emotion.

Other than that, I found the toys to be durable, entertaining, cute, and non-intimidating. I highly encourage people to give them a try.

Try using Dot to control Dash or making Dash detect obstacles with distance sensors! Grab all your friends and stuffed animals to watch the showdown.

Thoughtful balance of unstructured and guided play guarantees that fun keeps pace as your child grows. No camps, assembly, or instructions needed.

Wonder Workshop Dot Robot - Best Way to Learn Coding

Published on Oct 1, 2015


At Wonder Workshop, we know that the best way for younger children to learn coding is with a physical device to control. Dot is the brain, the smarts of a robot and lets your child learn programming at a price level never reached before. Dot takes kids on coding adventures opening their eyes to how the world around them works. Dot combines a variety of personality elements (eye, lights, sounds) and sensors (buttons, accelerometer, microphones) to become an incredible coding companion and teaching tool for young learners.

Unlike some robotics products that need hours of assembly, Dot comes pre-assembled and ready to play. Once you install Blockly and Wonder on your iOS or Android smartphone or tablet, you child will have fun challenge tutorials that will teach them programming -- while they’re having fun making games for Dot! With over 600 tutorials, challenges, and projects in the apps, children transform Dot into a flying spaceship, a funny fortune teller, or even an electronic instrument. As they explore at their own pace, kids start to understand how devices in their everyday lives work as they Dot opens their eyes to what coding can do. And since the challenges are built into the apps, your child can learn at their own pace - no expensive robot camps needed!

If you have Dash, a complete robot, you can use Dot to control Dash with our Blockly app – shake Dot and make Dash move, or hide Dot in the room and program Dash with Blockly to look for and do something once its sensors detect Dot.

Wonder Workshop apps work on smartphones and tablets that support Bluetooth LE (Bluetooth 2.0). A full list of compatible Apple and Android devices can be found here.

Get Dot today, and get your child the best tool possible to learn coding - with a robot!
