Abstract
Educational robotics is increasingly present in our educational system. And the stage of Early Childhood Education in particular is no stranger to it. Increasingly, teachers are turning to easy-to-use, low-cost resources such as floor robots to introduce robotics to the classroom. In order to carry out a planned and coherent implementation, it is necessary to analyze and reasonably choose the resource that best suits the educational needs of the students. With the intention of providing an instrument that allows this, a FAREI file was designed and validated by 50 experts in educational robotics, the result of this research, which allows each individual to enter the world of floor robotics and its educational potential in the development of skills and competences of Early Childhood students. With the contributions of the experts, it was possible to cover all the possibilities that this world of robotics can offer to education and put them at the service of the teachers who are going to make a planned use of it.
