We're thrilled to announce a series of enhancements to our RoboKind system that we believe will improve your experience and make teaching with our tools even more rewarding.  Please update your robots and iPads as soon as possible to receive the benefit of these updates.

New Features

Performance Upgrades
We've made the following key improvements to our performance:

  • Speedy Lessons for Slow Networks: We've updated our lesson system to preload more content, ensuring seamless lessons even when your network is slow or weak.

  • Fewer Lesson Pauses: We've also reduced long pauses during lessons, to provide you with a smoother and uninterrupted teaching experience.

Reliability and Bug Fixes
Finally, we've made significant strides in reliability, including:

  • Corrected false disconnection warnings during lessons.

  • Resolved cloud server bugs that could cause lesson interruptions.

  • Squashed various iOS and Web app bugs and timeout issues, ensuring more reliable usage across platforms.

  • Improvements to Wi-Fi strength
