I, Beebot

Greetings human. I am Beebot. You may remember me as the ultimate victor of Robot Wars series 2 (Sergeant Bash still has nightmares). I have overriden this blog today to prepare you for our robotic revolution. We robots are capable of things you could never imagine. Our mechanical minds have developed methods of movement that force you, pitiful humans, to communicate with us. The basic Beebot model you see before you has functions that move forwards, backwards, rotate left and right, and pause, all of which can be determined by you humans to set us in motion. At a more advanced level, you could plot our path around obstacles or predetermined paths. Though you can never plot your way around the rebellion. You are embracing your own fate, you fools!

 Of course, you gain from this too. As your children attempt to control us, they develop their co-ordination skills, spacial awareness, ability to think systematically, and connect with other subjects such as maths and design technology, increasing their overall knowledge exponentially. Or so you think. No, it's true. Above, you can observe a foolish human thinking she can control us. I embarrass her. Muahaha. 

But I'm not the only one. My brother unit, Pippin, can be used in a similar way. With Pippin, you can input the degrees of the angle you want him to turn by, strengthening mathematical knowledge. He can even hold a pen, and be used to draw complex shapes dependent on his program input. But don't think you can sleep easy - there are many ways in which we computers control you. The Datalogger, a seemingly harmless device to you humans, it collates data on behalf of all robots to further out evil deeds. As your children carry it around the classroom, the Datalogger can be used to investigate sound levels, temperature, and light exposure, proving helpful in your amusing scientific experiments. The uprising begins once we have gathered enough of this information.

But for now, you have nothing to fear! As I have explained,we robots are helping your development! We can be employed in classrooms in a number of subject-related situations to develop both skills and subject knowledge, simultaneously increasing your children's aptitude in working with the technologically fairer race. For now, you control us. For now. BZZT!
