SAM Root makes it easy and fun to learn programming through hands-on robotics! With three progressive coding levels—from graphical blocks to hybrid blocks to Python 3 syntax—you’ll be building real coding skills and controlling robots in no time.
MASTER CODING WITH 3 LEARNING LEVELS
No coding experience? No problem! SAM Root meets you where you are and grows with your skills:
- LEVEL 1: Graphical Blocks – Start with drag-and-drop, graphical blocks to grasp the fundamentals of coding logic—no reading required.
- LEVEL 2: Hybrid Blocks – Transition into more advanced coding structure with blocks that blend visuals and coding script.
- LEVEL 3: Python Code Blocks – Discover the structure and syntax of professional coding languages with full-text Python 3 code blocks.
SEAMLESSLY SWITCH BETWEEN LEVELS
Change coding levels anytime with a tap. SAM Root automatically converts your code, so you can match your skill level and learn the professional Python syntax behind each block.
CONNECT TO ROOT ROBOTS
Pair with a Root coding robot via Bluetooth and bring your programs to life! Control movement, lights, sounds, sensors, and more—while watching your code run in real time.
TEST WITH THE BUILT-IN SIMULATOR
Use the built-in 3D simulator to test your programs, speed up execution, and try new ideas—all without needing hardware.
I have to all the time I have to like I gotta download it on a separate device and then re-install the app stressed and you lose all your progress if you don’t have like a device that you can also have and yeah so I don’t know I have an I robotCoding robot and I really want it to work so I figured out I can do this but I don’t like this so I don’t recommend it if you have separate device so if you don’t have a separate device I don’t recommend it at all so I don’t know what’s wrong but what is anyway

Is there a web browser version?
Developer Response
Yes! A version of the SAM Root app is available in the browser at https://root.samlabs.com/ (Please note: Web Bluetooth is required to connect to Root robots from the web app)
Great app! Surprisingly no bugs yet.

I programmed 76 programs now! Ive been programming for 4 years and I love level 2 coding and its super easy to program! I haven’t found any bugs yet so they are great at finding and fixing bugs. Many other people say they have to re-install the app to open it again. Thats not true I can always open the app without re-installing the app. Thanks for reading I hope you get the app!

It was super fun when I got it but after a little bit the app would not work when I opened it it would stay frozen on the front page so I can’t use it any more but the robot will turn on and off.
- Fix: Disappearing blocks when simulator is closed.
