About This Item

Description

Build and program an amazing robotic buddy! combining physics, engineering, and computer science. 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!

Features

  • As soon as your Sidekick is assembled, you can begin programming its movements directly on a built-in keypad
  • Code programs for your Sidekick using an easy, visual interface or the simulator, which are both included in the app
  • Sidekick’s 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 Sidekick 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
