Disco Marty the Robot V2

The Disco Marty V2 enhances the experience of learning robotics and coding, making it both enjoyable and engaging. You can program Marty in languages ranging from simple blocks in Scratch to Python and beyond. Explore sensors and expand your robot with our freely accessible lesson plans and activities, catering to all skill levels on our Learning Portal.

In this Disco edition, students delve into the world of LEDs, adding a touch of sparkle to their Marty. LEDs on the eyes, arms and feet introduce a burst of color and light to Marty V2 robots!

Now, students can:

• Turn Marty’s eyes into disco balls to accompany their Robo-boogie.
• Put on their dancing shoes and add pizzazz to each step.
• Transform Marty’s arms into multi-colored glowsticks.
• Program different colors to serve as reactions.
• Learn about the uses of LEDs and light.

The Disco Marty retains all the same engaging functionality of the Marty V2:

• Unique Movements: Walking, dancing, turning, side-stepping, and kicking. Marty’s distinctive leg design gives it a swagger like no other robot.
• Interactive Sensors: With an array of sensors, including position, tilt, proximity, force, and a built-in speaker, Marty can talk, play sounds, ‘feel,’ and even shake hands. Marty comes with an IR obstacle sensor and color sensor as standard.
• Coding for All Abilities: Program Marty using MartyBlocks Jr (based on ScratchJr), MartyBlocks (based on Scratch), Python, and even up to a professional level with a Raspberry Pi and the ROS (Robot Operating System). With a camera, your Marty could play football autonomously!
• Expandable & Customizable: Marty loves learning new things. Add extra sensors (temperature, noise, light, and more), a camera, a Raspberry Pi or micro:bit, or 3D print your own custom parts.
• And much more!
