Marty the Robot v2

The new Marty V2 makes learning about robotics and coding fun and engaging. Program your Marty in languages from simple blocks in Scratch to Python and beyond, learn about sensors, and expand your robot.

• Unique movements:
  Walking, dancing, turning, side stepping and kicking. Marty’s unique leg design makes 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 and play sounds, ‘feel’, and even shake hands. Marty comes with IR obstacle sensor and color sensor as standard.
• LED disco lights:
  Marty now comes with our most popular add-on, LED disco eyes, as standard. Program different colors as reactions or turn Marty’s eyes into disco balls to accompany your own Robo-boogie 😎
• Coding for all abilities:
  Program Marty using MartyBlocks Jr (based on ScratchJr), MartyBlocks (based on Scratch), Python, and even up to professional level with a Raspberry Pi and the ROS (Robot Operating System). With a camera, your Marty could play football autonomously!
• Expandable & customisable:
  Marty likes 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 so much more!
