The PCS Edventures Robotics system is comprised of The Brain, a highly versatile micro-controller and the Cortex, an engaging and easy-to-use programming environment that makes programming fun. This system provides a naturally enabling platform for engaging students in a variety of areas including computer programming, physics, math, and other topics. PCS Robotics products range from full scale robotics lab implementations to its RiQ robot kit designed for home users.
JP Chastain, PCS marketing analyst, said of the expanding robotics marketplace, "Industry research from the International Federation of Robotics reports 1.2MM entertainment and hobby robotics units sold in 2013, with over 7.5MM projected from 2014 to 2017. Our objective is to capture a reasonable annual percentage of those sales with the PCS Robotics System through both educational and retail sales."
