Your Robo Bridge package contains three items:
Robo Bridge
USB-C to USB-A cable to provide power to the Bridge.
Reference sticker for the back of the Bridge.
For Winter 2024 Bridge users:
Update your Bridge firmware and complete the set up process using the Bridge Wired Update. Follow the step-by-step directions on the page or watch the tutorial video below. You will need the name and password for your school’s Wi-Fi network. You will connect the Bridge to this network to provide it with internet access.
A USB port on a computer will provide enough power to the Bridge during set up. However, full functioning of the Bridge requires a stable power supply. Locate a 5 volt (2 amp minimum) wall adapter or powered USB hub to plug your Bridge into for use after set up.

When a Main Block is turned on, it automatically searches for and connects to a Bridge if one is available. When multiple Bridge signals are available, a Main Block will connect to the Bridge with the strongest signal.
When connected to a Bridge, the Main Block's lights flash in this pattern:
A Bridge can handle up to 15 connected Robo Main Blocks. In schools with multiple Bridges, placement is very important to make sure Main Blocks connect to the correct Bridge while in use. Read these tips and take them under consideration while setting up multiple Bridges:
If multiple Bridges are separated by several classrooms, hallways, and/or walls, placement of the Bridge within the room it is used in can be flexible. These Bridges will be far enough apart that a Main Block should always connect to the Bridge in the room, as it will have a stronger signal when compared to others.
If multiple Bridges are being used in adjacent classrooms or across a hallway, place the Bridges as far away from each other and the other classroom as possible. It may be necessary to turn on Main Blocks next to the classroom’s Bridge to ensure they connect to the right bridge before use.
