Tutorials
This guide currently presents 5 easy and diverse tutorials.
Race Around the World
Number of kilobots : 1
Topic : basic program and movement
Learn the basics of robot programming with one single kilobot. Write a simple program to turn on its LED and make it move along a race track.
Full Metal Kilobot
Number of kilobots : 2
Topic : messages and communication
Get into a more complex program, using communication between two kilobots in a creative way. One of the kilobots is the instructor, yelling orders to the rookie, which must then execute them more or less precisely.
King-o-bot's Games
Number of kilobots : 2
Topic : distance measuring
In this tutorial inspired by the medieval knight's tournaments, the kilobots must fight in duel, going one toward the other at astounding speeds. The first to freak out loses and won't be King-o-bot's great champion!
Morphogenetics
Number of kilobots : arbitrary
Topic : collective organization
In living creatures' bodies, a cell can sometimes approximate its distance to another cell by analysing the neighbouring concentration of chemicals produced by that cell. Let's put this idea in practice with kilobots!
Rush Hour
Number of kilobots : arbitrary
Topic : collective behavior
In this tutorial, a lot of kilobots are placed in a limited space. As they move around randomly, they must display different colors depending on the number of kilobots they detect around them. The goal is to obtain some heat-map of the kilobot concentrations at a high scale.
