14 DAY TRIAL // If you’re the type who’s into “problem analysis, design, engineering, testing, prototyping, breaking down, starting over, redesigning, and retesting,” chances are you’ll feel right at home with Roboteer1.
Free of charge for a limited time, Roboteer1 is a cool iOS app that brings robotics to a non-technical game level where the player becomes an engineer who has to perform tasks that are specific to this line of business.
These include analyzing the challenge, formulating a design, constructing the design, prototyping the robot, testing its operation, blowing it up and starting over, and repeating this prototyping cycle until the robot is crafted well enough to take on the given task.
I haven’t had the time to test the game, but it looks like tons of fun for the geek living inside many of us. Your device only needs iOS 4.3 to run it, so pretty much everyone is good to go. Hurry up and grab it while it’s still free.
