There isn't a kid alive who hasn't fantasized about having a robot buddy at least once. It's a childhood dream that has existed even before the 1980s, when Johnny-5 was being his epic robot self on TV.

We're no longer living in the 80s, though. It's 2019, and that means that we now have the chance to have robots in our homes. One of the coolest robots to hit store shelves comes from Robobloq, and it's a specialty kit that's designed to teach kids to love coding.

Robobloq Robotics Kits gained fans, followers, and press mentions because of their innovative approach to getting kids into coding. Here's what makes Robobloqs the buddies your kids will always love.

Look at this adorable little tractor-like robot. His name is the Q-Scout! Isn't he adorable? Behind his friendly face is a wealth of different STEM lessons, ranging from basic mechanical engineering concepts to coding.

These cute bots are designed to be usable by kids as young as six years old, and make learning how to program fun and easy. Kids get to build their own robot from the ground up, expand upon it using add-on electronics, and code their robots using real programming languages.

It's made to be easy enough for a child to understand, and durable enough to withstand some rough play.

Not too long ago, having a robotics kit meant that you would need to have a high school education in order to complete it. Robobloq Robotics Kits are designed to be simple enough for kids as young as six to work with.

The robots aren't cheap plastic, either. They are made of anodized aluminum, and are designed to be durable. They also come with features that help the bots avoid obstacles, follow lines, and download code instantly.

Build it up, then code it, using a drag and drop coding app.

Q-Scout and other Robobloq Robotics Kits come with a specialized app that teaches kids how to code using drag and drop blocks of code. All kids have to do is download the app onto a mobile device of their choice, and then put blocks of code into a chain.

The sequence-by-sequence block coding style teaches kids how real computer programs are run, all while teaching them to think like a programmer. The blocks of code are written in real programming languages like C++ and Javascript, too.

To make things easier, the Robobloq app also offers up classes and challenges to help ease kids into coding. All the classes and challenges are designed to be fun and simple to understand.

Robobloq Robotics Kits allow you to grow your knowledge at your own pace.

Every student learns at his own pace, and that's the beauty of Robobloq's kits. The challenges and classes are there for kids to experience whenever they want. Each class and challenge takes things in tiny steps, and can always be repeated for refreshers.

Classes include broaching subjects like coding concepts, fun race courses, and awesome games to encourage kids to have fun while they code.

You can even enter competitions to show off your skills.

Children who have a competitive streak in them need to feel like they can win against others, and Robobloq Robotics Kits are able to give them the thrill they need. The app has the ability to connect you with other Robobloq users and compete with others.

If you have what it takes to be the greatest coder out there, you will be able to get a title from it. Of course, you have to compete and prove your mettle to get those bragging rights.

It's a kit that grows with your interest.

Robobloq Kits are as simple or as complex as you want them to be. If you or your child gets into your new Robobloq hobby, you can expand the number of tools and add-ons to your robotics kit.

Make your robot bigger, tweak what your robot can do, or just decorate your bot as you see fit. Robobloq has add-on packages for every robotics kit they offer, and more are being made soon enough.

Get a challenge with the advanced coding app.

There will come a time in every student's life when kids get tired of using beginner-level software to explore the world of STEM. When the happens, Robobloq will still maintain its level of fun and learning for your needs.

The Robobloq app has a mode that allows users to do advanced coding using C language. Just download the app to a computer, and type away like a real programmer!

It's a toy that will make students love STEM.

STEM is going to be the biggest jobs sector in the world soon, and children who are passionate about it will be more likely to attain success than those who aren't. By giving kids the gift of Robobloq Kits, you're helping kids choose a future that will pay them well, and give them a career they'll adore.

It's a gift that keeps on giving—both in and out of the classroom.
