Build and program your own robotic pal with this simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Assemble the durable, plastic building pieces into a 9-inch tall bot, then pair it with the free app on your smart device to unlock all of Junior’s capabilities. You control Junior’s movements and sounds! Program its movements directly on a built-in keypad or use the easy, visual interface on the app. Drive it around by remote control or use your device as a gyroscope. Play a make-believe robot workshop game in the app to diagnose any onboard issues. Junior’s microcontroller (or “brain”) has separate inputs for the LED lights that light up its eyes, a speaker, two motors (left and right), and a battery. A full-color, 32-page step-by-step illustrated manual explains how Junior’s functions relate to each of these elements, walks kids through the construction process, and helps them make the most of the app’s features – all while teaching them about robotics in the real world. The app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android. Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.
Introductory build-and-code kit for beginners and entry-level programmers ages 8 and up; build your own cool, 9-inch tall robotic pal!
No complex coding skills required! Easy, block-based coding app programs up to 200 different actions.
Two ways to play: For screen-free play, control your robot using the built-in buttons, or download the free app (Android or iOS) to your smart device to program your robot’s movements and sounds.
Exercises essential cognitive skills including problem-solving, critical thinking, and data-driven decision making.
Part of Thames & Kosmos’ award-winning Robotics: Smart Machines series, which is recognized for its high quality and functionality, robust educational content, and stellar play value.
