The ooBug (pronounced oo-bug) is an Educational Competition Robot. It is a
customizable and fun learning platform perfect for students, hobbyists and
professionals with a robust set of features.

The “oo” stands for ‘object oriented’. This unique feature make the ooBug
very versatile and easy to program. The ooBug is produced from the same
company (Savage Innovations) that brought us the popular ooPIC.

The ooBug is capable of competing in many different robotic events. It has
many complex features that allow it to indicate its mood, hunger and
overall condition. Your ooBug begins its life with a pre-installed
behavior that shows its abilities. When you are ready you can simply
upload or create new behaviors with the easy to use software.

Educators of all types find the ooBug to be an exceptional teaching tool. The
ooBug allows students (and adults!) to have fun and compete while
exploring many mathematical and scientific principles and no soldering
is required.

The ooBug comes with a clear customizable body so children can decorate their robots and a
competition is ran on the ooBug website for the best designed robot and
at the end of each month a prize is given to the winner. A social
networking site for ooBug users will also soon been online.
