%X Nowadays, mobile robots platforms are being used in different education contexts. The state of the art
shows that 197 papers have been published in this area knowledge over ten years. Latin America faces a problem regarding
the enrolled students in engineering programs. The SPADIES program (Colombia) affirms that the lack of motivation
and interaction with real artifacts relating theory and practice is an important aspect for dropout. In this work, a
platform composed by a set of programmable mobile robots, and a WEB-responsive software tool for programming at
different levels of knowledge were implemented. The set of mobile robots were implemented with proximity, trajectory,
light, inertial, and vision sensors; also, tools such as Bluetooth and LEDs-ring are included; and, a mechanical support
for an erasable marker. The WEB-responsive tool supports graphical programming for novice, Python programming for
middle, and ANSI-C for advanced level learners.
