Build a six-legged robot with the Velleman Tobbie STEM Kit. Features 'Follow Me' & 'Explore' IR modes. For ages 14+.
Introducing the Velleman STEM Educational Tobbie Robot Construction Kit, an engaging project for aspiring engineers to explore the world of electronics and mechanics in a fun, practical way. This kit allows you to build your very own Tobbie robot, an intelligent six-legged marvel equipped with two preprogrammed modes.
In 'Follow Me' mode, Tobbie acts like a real pet, following any object that approaches. Switch to 'Explore' mode, and Tobbie uses clever infrared (IR) detection to navigate and avoid obstacles independently. Beyond movement, the robot expresses gestures and emotions through various sound and light effects, bringing your creation to life.
This is an ideal STEM project for junior engineers eager to discover how robots work and the technology behind them. A detailed manual provides step-by-step instructions to guide you through the assembly process. Please note that the robot is powered by 4x AAA batteries, which are not included. With assembled product dimensions of 165 x 138 x 126 mm, it is recommended for ages 14 and over due to small parts posing a choking hazard for children under 3 years.
