Mini Robot 6-Leg Crawler

Mini robot toys are taking over the shelves gradually. It’s because apart from the fact that you can build one, you can still play with it after. And they do not cost so much as you think. You may start your robot building adventure with the Mini Robot 6-Leg Crawler.

An Intelligent Toy

It is not the usual robot toy that you can buy ready-made in the store. The whole kit comes in pre-cut pieces for the body, a motor, gears and cogs and a battery chamber with instructions on how to build it. After assembling, you’ll be able to test the robot for yourself. You’ll find that it has two modes programmed into the robot: one is the gesture-sensing follow mode that makes the robot follow the object in front of it. If the objects get too close, it will retreat on its own. The second one is the infrared obstacle avoidance exploration mode that lets the robot avoid the object in front of it then take another route and advance. It’s possible because of its infrared radar.

The Robot Up Close

It operates on four AAA batteries that you can place at the battery chamber in the ear area. The batteries deliver five volts of power. After assembly, you now have a blue robot that walks on six legs. Keep in mind that the parts should not be cut in advance and that they should be cut gradually while in the middle of the assembly. It is a good starter robot for children who like to build. It can also serve as bonding toy between you and your child. You may be able to teach him or her to appreciate building because it can teach lessons outside of the building itself. Get your child this toy and expand their horizons about robotics and about how to operate and develop them.
