Robot 28, the Wildplanet Spy Gear Video Trakr was purchased and added to the teaching content for robotics classes for middle school students. With multiple machines, it effectively illustrated numbers of robotic functions which, for the time period of 2011, were fairly advanced. The product proved to be reliable both mechanically and electrically. Some apps were downloaded while the Wildplanet site was active but no work was done on creating original apps using the C language compiler.
The Trakr was introduced in 2010 by Wildplanet as an integrated robotics educational system with a wide range of functions on the robot and controller plus a supporting WEB site for apps creation and distribution. This level of development and support was innovative but unfortunately lasted only a couple of years as Wildplanet was acquired and support was ended.
The four Trakrs acquired for robotics classes are still functional and at some future time it would be interesting to try to get a compiler working to create apps as this robotic is still very applicable to studying robotic functions.
