Like the original, This kit also 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. Construct an adventurous desert Explorer robot that drives around on wheeled legs and then walks slowly toward objects detected in its range. Experiment with altering the program of your sassy dancing robot so that the robot dances to the beat of a song. Set up an obstacle course and watch the Scout Rover use its ultrasonic sensor to navigate around the obstacles. A slick helicopter model spins Its rotors and then raises its landing gear when you lift it off the tabletop. Additional fun robots include 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 kit’s 233 building pieces. A full-color, 64-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble all of the models and teaches them about robotics in the real world. The visual programming language allows you to command the robots’ motors to move at different times, different power levels, in different directions, and in response to the data from the sensor. Requires a tablet or smartphone running iOS or Android. Check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements. ## Features - A follow-up to the best-selling original robotics: Smart machines kit, This version focuses on wheeled Robots. - Build 8 motorized machines controlled by programs and an ultrasound sensor. - Code the programs using an easy, visual programming app on a tablet or smartphone. - The ultrasonic sensor works on the same principle as Sonar. - A full-color, 64-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble all of the models and teaches them about robotics in the real world. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B079CG5B28 | | Age Range Description | 8+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #529,797 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #4,468 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | Thames & Kosmos | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (128) | | Educational Objective | To introduce kids to robotics and programming by building wheeled robots. | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814743013049 | | Included Components | 1 64-page experiment manual, 1 bluetooth battery box, 1 ultrasonic sensor, 2 motors, 230 plastic building pieces | | Item Dimensions | 16.75 x 3.13 x 10.25 inches | | Item Type Name | Rovers & Vehicles | | Item Weight | 0.27 g | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Thames & Kosmos | | Manufacturer Part Number | 620380 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year warranty against manufacturer defects | | Manufacturer recommended age | 6 - 14 years | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 620380 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | Robotics Smart Machines: Rovers & Vehicles | | Size | Small | | Theme | Robots,Vehicles | | UPC | 814743013049 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Robotics: Smart Machines Rovers & Vehicles - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/912zFSWalNL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Made in China?** A: This item is made in Taiwan. **Q: Can you get the app on a Kendall fire?** A: Unfortunately, the Robotics: Smart Machines app is not available for Kindle devices.
