Robotics Smart Machines: HoverBots This item is limited to quantities on hand. Once in-stock quantities sell out this item will no longer be available. Ages 8-14 227 Pieces 8 Experiments 64-Page Manual 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. You can build eight motorized robots that use a special self-balancing technology to move around. Code programs for your robots using an easy, visual programming app on a tablet or smartphone, which connects to the robots via a wireless Bluetooth connection. The robots use a combination of sensors to balance themselves. A gyroscope sensor is used to detect the angle of tilt of the vehicle. An accelerometer is a sensor that detects the acceleration, or change in speed, of the vehicle. Together, these two sensors can tell the microcontroller the robot brain if the vehicle is tiltin
