## Overview

## Description

From the manufacturer Robotics Smart Machines Robotics is a vast, thrilling, and sometimes overwhelming interdisciplinary field involving physics, engineering, and computer science. This kit gives kids a simple, fun, and customisable introduction to robotics that lets them build eight motorised machines controlled by programs and an ultrasound sensor. Kids code the programs using an easy, visual programming app on a tablet or smartphone, which connects to the robot models via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The ultrasonic sensor works on the same principle as sonar. It sends out sound waves, which bounce off objects. The sensor interprets the echoes returning to it, and from this detects objects in the path of the sensor. Using the app interface, you can program the robots you build to behave based on the feedback coming from the ultrasound sensor. Build a humanoid robot that walks forward on two legs and pivots to avoid obstacles in its path. An awesome stag beetle model moves backwards or forwards in response to an obstacle, and opens and closes its pincers. Construct a funny crocodile model that wags its tail if no object is in sight, but then opens its giant jaws when an object approaches. Using an additional smartphone and tablet, you can even hack together a cute little spy-bot that roams around and streams video back to the tablet screen. A cool dual-rotor drone model rotates its rotor blades 90 degrees. You can also assemble other fun robots including a robo-dog and robo-dino. After you have learned how the technology works, you can build and program your own robots using the kit’s 230 building pieces. The Models The kit contains building pieces and instructions to build 8 different models : a Bipedal Droid, Spy Bot, Beetle, Crocodile, Tiltrotor Aircraft, Robo Dog, Robotosaurus, and Catapult. After constructing a model, kids can use the free downloadable app to program their creation to walk and move using a smartphone or tablet. The App The app for Robotics: Smart Machines is the 'brain' of your robotic models. It uses feedback from the ultrasonic sensor and program instructions to control the models. The app is free to download from the App Store for iOS devices, or from Google Play for Android devices. Check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements. The Programs Kids get an introduction to programming with this kit. They can write their own programs in the app, or use one of the 7 pre-loaded demo programs to get the models moving. Included are instructions on how to create programs to move the motors in the models, as well as to create sound so that when their robot walks, a simple melody plays through their smartphone or tablet.

Review: great kit - my daughter, 9, loves this set. there are two problems to be aware of - 1. her fingers are not strong enough to snap the pieces together, so she needs an adult's help. and 2. when she built the catapult she noticed that when it swings down, it is unsteady and the sensor picks up the floor. she says the design is flawed, and so she built supports along the side and under to keep it more stable. as a parent, i can think of one negative, in the app on the tablet, there is not a good explanation of what the arrows and categories mean. my husband had to look on the internet for a booklet to explain what the app features did now that you know those things, i would say those aren't such bad things and the overall enjoyment from building and using the robots have far outweighed the negatives. the pieces are well made, options are plenty, and having the app at all is very handy.
