Coding with Codie

Codie is an artisanal robot, hand-crafted from wood.  However, don’t let the old school materials fool you; inside the wooden exterior hides a sophisticated robot.  It sports quite a number of sensors, as well as Bluetooth 4.0, allowing you communicate with it wirelessly.

The thing that really caught my eye with Codie was the software.  It is colourful, looks very program flow oriented very mobile device friendly.  Apparently, you can create custom blocks with parameters, that would allow you to easily declutter your ever-growing program.  Sort of like graphical function blocks or MyBlocks, as they’re referred to in the LEGO programming environments.

How awesome is that?  It looks super slick.  The proof will be in the eating of the pudding, or robot in this case, but it certainly has the appearance of being easy to use.

So where can you get one?  Well, you can’t, at least not yet!  The guys are going to launch their 30-40 day Indigogo campaign around the end of this month, so just be patient for a few more days.  When it goes live, I will update this post, of course.  In the meantime, go check out the website: [LINK].
