Re:iRobot's New Education Robot Makes Learning to Code a Lit... by ianbicking on Wednesday July 29, 2020 @11:23PM (#23994256)
Here's the specs on it: https://store.irobot.com/default/root/irobot-root-rt0/RT0002...

Basically:

1. Capacitive touch zones (basically buttons?)

2. Bumpers

3. Light-sensors

4. Gyroscope

5. Accelerometer

6. Two wheels with encoders

7. Piezoelectric speaker and a couple lights

Not very interesting. It can wander around some with very minimal feedback. It can't communicate, it can't sense many parts of its environment, since its only ability to act is really its two wheels it can't interact outside of wiggling and some beeps and boops.
