KikoRobot.962
KikoRobot.962
Our Price: $27.95

At first glance, KikoRobot.962 offers a distinct resemblance to the award-winning KIKO.893. But, upon further evaluation, one cannot help but notice KikoRobot.962 is the bigger, faster, stronger version of the little yellow robot from 2018. KikoRobot.962 comes equipped with the same I/R (infrared) and AI (artificial intelligence) technology that made the older version a fan favorite. Aside from that similarity, the two robots are a stark comparison. KikoRobot.962 features an improved gearbox and a new eight leg design, allowing the robot to reach higher speeds as it comically scurries around in both follow-me and explore mode, quickly leaving KIKO.893 in the dust. Boys and girls will love having a friendly robot companion pursue their every move, or complete handmade obstacles with ease. Parents will look on with glee as their budding engineers' ages 8+ complete this 192-piece STEAM kit and will be satisfied knowing that this playtime is both educational, and more importantly, fun!

Ages: 8+

Dimensions: 5.31" x 5.12" x 7.09"

No. of Pieces: 192

Batteries Required: 'AAA' x 4 (not included)

RE/CO Robot
RE/CO Robot
Our Price: $35.95

RE/CO Robot (RE/CO short for remote control) is the adventurous, off-roading sibling to KikoRobot.962. Like its family member, RE/CO comes equipped with an infrared sensor and artificial intelligence. But, where RE/CO Robot differs from KikoRobot.962 is its ability to be controlled wirelessly, and its tank-like tracks, that are perfect for rugged conditions. For the first time, future engineers will be able to interact with their OWI Infrared Robot kit, from a distance! With the wireless remote control added, RE/CO Robot can access new play modes like storytelling, singing, dancing, and even programming! Children can enjoy guiding RE/CO Robot over all sorts of terrain or allow the friendly robot to lead the way, using its infrared sensor to find a clear path, in patrol mode. For parents who look to get the most out of their children's playtime, RE/CO Robot is a great all-in-one package. Combining DIY assembling with 106-pieces, STEAM Learning with Infrared Sensors, Programming with easy directional commands, and having fun with the freedom of a handy wireless remote control.

Ages: 8+

>Dimensions: 6.30" x 6.89" x 3.74"

Bristlebot Classroom 25 Pack (classroom set)
Bristlebot Classroom 25 Pack (classroom set)
Our Price: $100.00

A Bristlebot is a small robot made by combining a toothbrush head and a vibrating pager motor.

The vibrations from the motor travel down the bristles and cause the brush to move and spin on flat surfaces. Build a Bristlebot in your home or classroom to teach basic engineering, motors, circuits, and physics concepts (i.e. balance principles).

Adjust different parts by bending, twisting, and angling the chenille stems into different positions and see how it affects the movement and direction of your Bristlebot.

Build time: 3 to 10 minutes Suitable for ages 5+ This kit comes with everything you need to build 25 Bristlebots! Parts Included: 25 pre-cut toothbrush heads 25 double-sided tape cubes 25 vibration motors 25 batteries 50 googley eyes 50 pipe cleaners.

Note: This item ships with a flat rate of $10. If you are ordering a larger quantity of sets (4+ units), please contact us for reduced shipping costs.
