Assume Manual Control with the Free Meccano AppIn addition to having a personality of its own, the MeccaSpider also takes orders via the free Meccano app. Using the app and a compatible iOS or Android mobile device, kids can assume manual control over the robot, emit cool sound effects, and spray water on command. The MeccaSpider also features an integrated button panel for hands-on control. |
Built-In IR Sensor Allows Spider to Track and AttackEquipped with an infrared (IR) sensor, the MeccaSpider can easily navigate its environment and detect movement. In autonomous mode, the spider will freely wander and explore. When set to attack mode, the MeccaSpider goes on the hunt, tracking moving objects and spraying a stream of 'venom' (water) to contain anything in its path. It can even actively patrol an area in guard mode to keep out unwanted guests. The LED lights on the robot spider’s rear plate indicate its current mode. |
Built-In Games Offer More Interactive FunThe MeccaSpider also comes with a range of built-in games and activities that provide hours of entertainment. Try a round of 'Repeat After Me,' a game that challenges kids to copy an array of LED patterns. Or gather a group of friends in a circle for a fun, frightening game of 'Venom Attack,' in which the first person who gets sprayed with water. |
About Meccano
For over a century, Meccano has been a leading producer of imaginative construction sets for children. The company arose from humble origins in 1898, when English inventor Frank Hornby created the first Meccano construction kit for his sons. In 1913, an American company called Erector began manufacturing a similar toy, the Erector Set. Today, the two companies have united under a single, internationally renowned name--Meccano--and remain committed to empowering the next generation of makers. From basic building toys to high-tech robotics kits, Meccano products are designed to inspire the imagination and foster a lifelong enthusiasm for STEM learning.

Melanie "Vaxxed & Masked" Gilbert
definitely worth the price
A fun 3 hour build for me, clear instructions and nice features, its great that you can program your own personalized behavior for it and it shows you how but it does offer limited entertainment for someone else, definitely recommend as a gift to someone younger.
