[English]

(upbeat music)

(chuckles)

- You all remember the great Jibo massacre of 2017,

and so do we.

Actually I'm pretty sure they blamed us

for sinking their company.

So when Keyi reached out to sponsor this video

about their ClicBot educational robot,

my eyebrows just about raised right off my head.

But we wouldn't be making this video,

if the ClicBot was yet another colossal waste

of money that barely does anything.

So let's unleash the crackings on it,

and see what our newest family member can do.

(upbeat music)

This cute, modular robot from Keyi is the product

of a successful Kickstarter funded back in February of 2020.

With backers being able to pledge anywhere

from $299 for the early bird starter kit,

to $699 for the early bird maker kit

with plenty of options in between.

You can build basically anything you want

with all the pieces in the kit,

but they have some suggested ones.

So the two main ones are

BIC,

and BAC.

So BAC is kind of like a tall

skinny boy moves around,

and then BIC has wheels.

So that's why we've actually got wheels included in our kit.

So which one do you guys want to build, BIC or BAC?

- BIC - BIC please

- BIC

- I had kind of planned for us to do the other one first.

Can you work with me on this?

- Yeah- - Okay

- We'll do back first?

- Yeah - Okay

- Some of the more advanced features are gonna

be a little complicated for a younger audience,

but they figure anyone ages eight

and up can probably assemble it.

So, why don't we get you to take a crack at the assembly?

We're going to start with the head

and wait a second my boy.

Yeah, you can put it together any way you want,

but we're going to start by not doing a random one.

We're going to start with BAC.

So that's your next piece.

So we got this one.

- And now we need another one of them.

- That's right.

Okay. Have you figured out how to put it together my boy?

- I have.

- Did you figure out how to put it together?

So this comes off.

Okay. You're gonna put that one together.

- Suction cup.

- Yeah. So I guess you can suction it under something,

Are there more pieces?

Cause it looks like we've got a foot here.

Oh my goodness.

Two suction cups?

Okay.

Ah, okay.

I'm just gonna, I'm just gonna do it.

Okay.

Hi.

Wow. It's got lights on it.

Whoa.

Has mount already been stickied on the desk, yeah?

(Robot whizzing)

There's a few things you can do,

so you can try tickling BAC's head.

(Giggles)

Okay.

(Laughs)

Does someone want to try to cover backside?

- Me please.

- Okay. Go for it.

- How?

- With your hands.

You gotta try.

(Robot whizzes)

(Laughs)

There's a few things we can do here.

There's BAC's Playbox.

Wave left or right about 10 centimeters

in front of BAC to select the answer

before the countdown ends.

Okay.

The fastest bird is an ostrich or a, a what?

- Castorosaurus.

- I have no idea.

So far then it actually does seem pretty Jibo like,

but that's okay.

We're coming to the, but wait, there's more moment.

We got the full kit

which still costs less than a Jibo by the way.

And can be used to build any number of different robots.

Ones that have been pre-tested by Keyi,

or the community, or your own creations.

So why don't we build the other starter robot

and try some of the other functionality.

The instructions are here in the main menu.

You can see there's all this stuff in here and meet friends,

update, settings.

So this is a whole,

and then there's your connection settings here.

So let's go right back to calibrate.

Please connect as follows.

Applebee's blah blah blah.

Alright, here we go, ready?

So I need one of those.

That's kind of cool.

It just gives you like the next step.

(Robot whizzes)

They don't even need all the robot functionality to

have fun with this stuff apparently.

Wait, we're building BAC again.

What the heck?

Well, I guess we can watch BAC dance now.

That's why they call him BAC cause he comes back.

Get it?

That's how I can tell the difference

between staff that I pay and my own children.

Touchscreen could be a little,

sensitivity could be tweaked a little.

There's some constructive feedback for the Keyi team.

There we go.

Dance.

Okay, here we go.

Five, four, three, two, one.

(Bouncy rap music)

Okay.

That was dance mode.

We want to get into building BIC mode.

So there you go.

We've got BIC selected in the menu.

We're going to click that,

and it says remove all the flashy modules.

Okay. Guys, tear off all the flashing ones.

Rip it apart.

Kill him.

(Giggles)

So now do you see the instructions on the screen?

- Yeah.

- So you gotta do that.

All right, you got it?

There we go.

- Anyone can balance like that.

- Okay. Keep it standing on a flat surface.

Oh wow.

It really does balance itself.

Segway style.

That's pretty cool.

Oh.

(Smooth jazz music)

What? No, what?

(Giggles)

- No, you're not a person.

- I'm pretty sure I'm a person.

So we're gonna try one of the ones in like,

the community thing.

Oh, wrong module position.

Gosh. Darn it.

I'll take it off.

I got it wrong again?

- The other side.

You've got to put it on the other side of the hand.

- Ooh.

Well, all right smarty pants, why don't you do it then?

Here we go.

That's kind of cool.

Look at this.

It's got like a 3D view.

If you have trouble kind of lining things up.

Now we need kind of like a butt tail thing.

There we go.

Ah, okay.

I need another sphere.

More sphere.

- I don't have one.

- Yes you do. You have three.

What the heck are we even making?

[Man] A Race car.

- A Race car.

Okay. Now we need wheels kids.

Wheel me.

Okay. So there's like a pressure sensitive foot

that goes in here.

Okay.

Wrong logical position.

Why does it need a foot?

Okay. Where's my next wheel?

What? This is a race car.

Okay. You know what?

Sure. Fine.

Oh, we're doing awesome now I'm getting a hang of this.

All right I need another sphere. Sphere me.

(Momentary shrieking)

You might need some help from your big brother.

Oh wow. Good job.

So now what we can do

is we can use the phone app to drive it around.

Select reset, to adjust posture.

Yeah. Oh, hi.

Okay. You guys want to try the racer?

- Yes please.

- All right. Me too.

- How fast does it go?

- Oh, wow, okay.

Oh, that's pretty cool.

(Robot whizzing)

All right. Who wants to try it?

- Me please.

- Put your thumb on the, yeah, there you go.

Okay. You gotta go a different direction now.

Back. See? And forward.

Ah, you gotta go get Andy.

Okay. You try it.

You press the other mode.

So now what does it do?

(Robot whizzing)

(Chuckles)

Now what's cool, is that if you build your own,

you can actually program little animations

and stuff like that by setting up what are essentially

key frames manually and then playing them back.

So you could have it go get something,

or go back in front- okay hold on, hold on.

Okay. So let's see what it's doing.

Okay.

So, like spins like this.

(Laughs)

Now, it does have these little locks.

If you have a model that's

kind of top heavy here something.

Once you're familiar with the motion control,

you can also go in and create your own AI programs

for ClicBot with the simple graphical user

interface that allows anyone to visually script

to their heart's content.

The community is also constantly uploading new videos

showcasing just what ClicBot can do.

And with a helpful online community of like-minded makers,

you can be sure to find solutions online

to problems you might encounter when trying to program

or put together, ClicBot yourself.

They're also a great source of inspiration

if you're not sure where to start,

or where to go next in your bot building journey.

The lack of ability to connect it to a terminal,

isn't the only blemish.

You're limited to 2.4 gigahertz wifi,

there aren't any airlines for failing code,

and the app did have to be reset a few times to

fix some instances of freezing.

However, Keyi's YouTube channel

has a lot of tutorials for beginners,

and ClicBot is already getting firmer updates,

so we would expect some of these bugs to disappear,

or at least lessen in the future.

This also leaves room for new features to be added

on top of the 200 plus interactions

it can already perform.

Aww poor you.

Wow. It really does look like a wounded animal.

It runs for about two hours between charges

making it a pretty fun gift

for the tech savvy kid in your life,

or for anyone who's looking to relive their childhood

dream of having a robotic friend,

or well, really any friend.

Thank you for watching.

Thanks Keyi for sponsoring this video.

If your kids are still too young for the ClicBot,

make sure to check out our ABCs of gaming board book

at lttstar.com, totally unbiased review.

How's the ABC's of gaming?

Is it a good book?

Thanks for that.

If you're looking for another video to watch right now,

how about our review of Jibo.

It's basically, well,

it tried to be this,

but it was so much less than this,

but it does twerk.

Key Grammar Structures

• You all remember the great Jibo massacre of 2017, and so do we.

  ➔ Tag Question/Ellipsis

  ➔ The phrase 'and so do we' is a tag question, echoing the first part of the sentence. It implies agreement and avoids full repetition. The 'so' acts as an auxiliary verb, mirroring 'remember'.

• But we wouldn't be making this video, if the ClicBot was yet another colossal waste of money that barely does anything.

  ➔ Third Conditional

  ➔ This sentence uses the third conditional ('would + have + past participle') to express an unreal past condition and its hypothetical result. 'If the ClicBot was...' presents the unreal condition, and 'we wouldn't be making...' is the hypothetical result.

• So let's unleash the crackings on it, and see what our newest family member can do.

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression/Imperative

  ➔ “Unleash the crackings” is an informal, idiomatic expression meaning to thoroughly test or review something. 'Let's' introduces an imperative mood, suggesting action. 'Can do' is a common construction expressing ability.

• With backers being able to pledge anywhere from $299 for the early bird starter kit, to $699 for the early bird maker kit with plenty of options in between.

  ➔ Gerund as Subject/Participle Phrase

  ➔ ‘With backers being able to pledge…’ uses a gerund phrase ('being able to pledge') functioning as an adverbial phrase modifying the main clause. The phrase 'from $299 to $699' is a range expressed with prepositions.
