Product Description

From the Manufacturer

This very interesting sound detecting robot kit has four built-in microphones to detect the sound sources. When the robot detects a sound, it will turn and move toward the sound. Just clap and the robot will come to you. Clap again from another position and the robot will turn and move in that direction.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Robot Kit!, December 26, 2011

This robot kit was perfect for my 6th grade daughter. She thought it was very cute and was very interested and diligent about assembling the kit. It particularly helped her learn to follow instructions. The fact that this little robot can determine the direction of sound waves is amazing. If one person is behind the robot and another person is at another angle, the robot will decide where the audio clapping sound is coming from and turn towards the sound. Once the robot understands where the sound is coming from it will make short movements towards the person who is clapping. Continuing to clap or snap your fingers will cause the robot to continue moving towards the sound. I hope I can figure out how to program the robot for myself and help my daughter learn how to write a program. The IC chip "brain" is removable from the socket.

Purchased this for my 10 yo son's robotics project for him to get a feel for electronics. The description said it was the solder version, however it was not. Other than that he learned a lot about motors and how they work along with sensors. It did what we wanted it to do.

My 9 year-old son loves this toy. He and I enjoyed putting this together. I'd have him study the picture and correct him if needed, which was seldom. It was a bit tricky toward the end and required some fine-motor dexterity. But the finished product works like a charm. As to surfaces, hard-wood floors or linoleum are best, though some short carpets may well tolerate the not-too tall wheels. Also clap down at the toy's level (and within a yard) to get it to turn into the correct direction. When my son stood and clapped, the robot would not turn. I enjoyed snapping my fingers to get it to turn. Additionally, I used a pocket knife to shave off the nibs left over after removing the plastic parts from the discardable "tree" to which they were molded.
