Robot Simulator

No Robot?
No Problem.

A 3D virtual rover packed with sensors, exercises, and challenges. Perfect for homework, classroom practice, or learning before the kit arrives.

Same code, virtual rover

A Virtual Rover You Can Program

The Simulator gives every student their own rover to experiment with, no hardware required. Write code in the Micromelon Code Editor and watch it run in real time.

Same code works on real and simulated rovers
No setup needed. No mazes, ramps, or exercise mats
Students can practise at home without a physical rover

Built-In Exercises & Environments

The Simulator comes loaded with virtual exercises and tools to explore.

Virtual Exercises

An extensive range of unique and challenging exercises included. Computer-generated challenges create progressively harder tasks.

Camera Controls

Pan, zoom, and rotate the 3D view to watch your rover from any angle. Follow your rover as it moves through an exercise.

Keyboard Controls

Drive the virtual rover manually with your keyboard. Great for exploring exercises and understanding the environment before writing code.

Simulated Sensors

The virtual rover has all the same sensors as the real one: colour, IR, ultrasonic, and gyroscope. Read sensor data and use it in your code.

Program With The Micromelon Code Editor

Write the same code for a simulated rover as you would for a real Micromelon Rover. Switch between blocks and text, and run your programs instantly in the Simulator.
