Build and program your own robotic pal with this simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Assemble the durable, plastic building pieces into a 9-inch tall bot, then pair it with the free app on your smart device to unlock all of Juniors capabilities. You control Juniors movements and sounds! Program its movements directly on a built-in keypad or use the easy, visual interface on the app. Drive it around by remote control or use your device as a gyroscope. Play a make-believe robot workshop game in the app to diagnose any onboard issues. Juniors microcontroller (or brain) has separate inputs for the LED lights that light up its eyes, a speaker, two motors (left and right), and a battery. A full-color, 32-page step-by-step illustrated manual explains how Juniors functions relate to each of these elements, walks kids through the construction process, and helps them make the most of the apps features all while teaching them about robotics in the real world. The app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android. Please check the app stores for compatibility and device requirements.
