Build and program your own robotic friend with this simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics. Assemble the durable, plastic building pieces into a 9-inch-tall boot, then pair it with the free app on your smart device to unlock all of Junior's capabilities. You control Junior's 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. Junior's 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 Junior's functions relate to each of these elements, walks kids through the construction process, and helps them make the most of the app's 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.
