Robotics is a vast thrilling and sometimes overwhelming
interdisciplinary field involving physics engineering and computer
science. This kit gives kids a simple fun and customizable
introduction to robotics that lets them build eight motorized machines
controlled by programs and an ultrasound sensor. Kids code the programs
using an easy visual programming app on a tablet or smartphone which
connects to the robot models via a wireless Bluetooth connection.Build a
shy turtle robot that drives around and quickly avoids obstacles in its
path. The friendly rover bot model first looks around for your hand
and once detected moves toward it and follows it around. Construct an
awesome desert explorer robot with wheels on legs; first it drives
around but when it detects an object in its range it starts slowly toward it. Experiment with altering the program of
your cute dancing robot so that the robot dances to the beat of a song
you play for it. Set up an obstacle course and watch the scout rover use
its ultrasonic sensor to navigate around the obstacles. A cool
helicopter model spins its rotors and then raises its landing gear when
you lift it off the tabletop. You can also assemble other fun robots
including a dozer bot with a bulldozer blade and a scorpion robot with a
stinger tail. After you have learned how the technology works you can
build and program your own robots using the 233 building pieces.
