Watch this video to see Jitter in action! It's the coolest robot that makes learning easy and fun. Get ready to dive into the world of robotics and coding.

Robotics and coding don’t have to be hard—Jitter makes it super easy! You’ll use blocks, like puzzle pieces, to create your code. As you gain confidence, you’ll tackle more challenging projects and become a true robotics BOSS!

Jitter is the first robot in our XO-range. Since you already have all the required components, future projects are super affordable, costing around R300.00. You can keep building amazing things without breaking the bank!

Fun features:


This little robot comes pre-programmed.

  • Scare Function: Clap loudly, and Jitter will look shocked!
  • Ticklish Mode: Touch the icon above the LED matrix (its belly) and watch it react.
  • Obstacle Avoidance: Jitter reverses when something gets closer than 5cm to its eyes.
  • Light Sensor: The LED matrix shows a sun in bright light and a red circle in the dark.
  • Dance Mode: Press button B to make the robot dance.
  • Jitter Mode: Press button A to make the robot jitter.
  • Servo Centering: Press buttons A and B together to center the servos.

If you lost your original code we have a backup one for you!

We also have a Bluetooth app to add even more fun! With the app, you can:

  • Read Sensors: Check temperature, magnetic wave intensity, and orientation with the Gravity sensor.
  • Control the LED Matrix: Display different arrows and symbols.
  • Send Commands: Make Jitter jitter, shuffle, and perform a little dance with just a tap.
  • Your app to controll Jitter:Bit - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.XO.android

Easy to build instructions.

Building your very own dancing robot has never been easier! Jitter:Bit comes with all the pieces you need cut out and ready to assemble. 

If you get stuck at all, don't worry. Our YouTube channel has super helpful build videos where you can watch Jitter:Bit come to life before your eyes. The instructors explain exactly what to do at each step so you'll stay on track.


The coolest part is seeing it boogie to music once it is done. Give Jitter:Bit a try, I promise you'll love the process.

Awesome rechargeable battery!
This battery is fantastic because it offers extended power in a compact package, enabling the toy to operate for longer periods without the hassle of frequent recharging. Its rechargeable capability means you can keep enjoying it without the need to purchase new batteries, making it both convenient and economical. Additionally, its lightweight nature ensures it won’t add extra weight to the toy, making it easy to handle. It charges with a C-type charger and displays the battery level, making it ideal for prolonged playtime.

How the series work.

Our XO range of educational toys - as their name suggests - works a lot like XO skeletons, where the initial purchase is expensive, but every member of the range is designed to be cheap after the initial purchase because the microcontroller and a lot of the sensors don't have to be purchased again. The range includes Custom videos. All based on international standards and the CAPS syllabus. We plan to release one toy per month to the XO range which will all work from the app downloadable from the play store. We also manufacture them ourselves making the after sales support very good.
