Discover the world of robotics — an exciting, interdisciplinary field combining physics, engineering, and computer science. This kit gives kids a simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs soon as Junior is assembled, you can begin programming its movements directly on a built-in keypad. You can also download the free Junior app (Android or iOS) to unlock all of the Junior’s capabilities. Did you assemble everything correctly? Play a make-believe robot workshop game in the app to diagnose any onboard issues.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou control Juniors’s movements and sounds. Have fun and drive Junior by remote control or by using your device as a gyroscope. Code programs for Junior using an easy, visual interface included in the app. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJunior’s microcontroller — the robot’s “brain” — has separate inputs for the LED lights that light up its eyes, a speaker, two motors (left and right), and a battery. As you assemble this robot, you will learn how Junior’s functions relate to each of these elements. A full-color, 32-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble the model and use all of the functions of the app — all while teaching them about robotics in the real world. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe app requires a tablet (recommended) or smartphone running iOS or Android.
