As announced on the Assistance to Firefighters Grant program website, the application period for 2011 Fire Prevention and Safety Grants (that is the category generally used to purchase educational robots) will open in March 2012 . A new video is available here with information about program priorities and how to apply for the grant.
New LCD Projector & DVD Player
New for 2011! Built-in LCD projector and DVD player can be installed on our Antique Firetruck, Comet Firetruck, 1940's Firetruck or Ambulance - and on many of our smaller, non-firetruck vehicles. The DVD is projected onto a screen or wall (not included) behind the robot. Size of the image can be modified by the distance between the screen and the vehicle.
We regret that we are not able to accept any new orders for our Superpumper fire truck since the manufacturer of the base unit has discontinued production. If/when the vehicle becomes available again we will feature it right here! See our Antique Firetruck and Comet Firetruck here.
Amazing New Lifelike, Lifesize Animal - Robot Characters
Lions and tigers and bears, oh my! We are very excited to introduce our brand new line of lifelike (and lifesize) animal robot characters. Unlike the real ones, our animal characters can talk. Check out our new Characters webpage for more information, photos and videos.
TeleTutor 9-1-1
Brand New! The 9-1-1 TeleTutor is an interactive training device that allows children to safely practice the skills they need to reach the 9-1-1 responder in an emergency. Children can practice dialing the number and then interact either with a recorded message or with a live educator. The system is completely isolated from the telephone exchange and there is no chance that any real call will be placed.
WOW! That's what we've been hearing when people first meet our brand new Mechanical Man. With his flashing lights, changing eye colors and built-in huge LCD TV/DVD, this robot captures the attention of adults and children alike.
In response to many requests, we have introduced RoboTalent, allowing you to rent a robot along with a professional performer/operator for your fair, tradeshow, corporate event, fund-raising gala, grand opening or anytime you want to make a special and lasting impression. A variety of Probotics America robots are available for an hour or two, a day, a week or longer. Check out the RoboTalent webpage or download the catalog for more information.
