Details

This kit gives kids a simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Choose between the four-wheeled rover or the two-wheeled robot Sidekick, and get programming! As soon as your robot is assembled, you can begin programming its movements directly on a built-in keypad. You can also download the free Sidekick app (Android or iOS) to unlock all of the Sidekick's capabilities. You control your robots movements, sounds, and even facial expressions. Have fun and drive your Sidekick by remote control or by using your device as a gyroscope. Code programs for your Sidekick using an easy, visual interface or the simulator, which are both included in the app. It can even play music and dance. Choose from several styles of music and watch your Sidekick bust a move. It has a microcontroller; the robot's brain has separate inputs for LED lights, a speaker, two motors (left and right), a battery and an infrared sensor that helps the robot know where it is in the included maze game. A full-color, 36-page step-by step illustrated manual helps kids assemble both of the models and use all of the functions of the app 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.
