Light up a love of electronics with this light-chasing robot! Wire up the motors, add the switch, and assemble your robot — all while exploring the science behind circuits and sensors. Customize your robot with one of two skins (a turtle or a beetle), then use the included flashlight to make it get a move on. Learn to steer your robot left, right, and head-on... then rewire and reconfigure it so that it runs backwards!

Light-Chasing Robot Project Kit

This is a gift.  I am sure my Grandson will love it. He loves your products. 

This was an excellent way to spend time with my grandson. We both enjoyed everything about the process and were very pleased with the product. 

My 7 year old (and I) built this during lunchtime today.  It took only about 1 hr. and 20 minutes.  He LOVED it. He was so excited when we tested it and the motors turned on!  I loved that the instruction booklet explained how it worked as we went along.  He can't wait to start on the next kit!

I liked it a lot but the light detectors were not picking up that much light and it was jerking around it defensively works though.

Since it cost way more than the average crate, I expected better. The sensors didn’t work unless the flashlight was almost touching them, so using both sensors at once to go straight isn’t an option. My son, being engineering inclined, moved the sensors, took off the turtle shell, and was able to run it better that way. He was going to try a new battery, but when he tried taking it off, a wire came loose from the motherboard. He still learned a lot and it helped him think about robotics and troubleshooting, but I wouldn’t buy it again. 

My son built it in an hour, but played for much longer.  My only recommendation is not using it on carpet.

My son loved this turtle.

Good

Very Intuitive device to assemble & Great Quality. My Granddaughter was fascinated with the Robot she enjoyed assembling it and operating it.Thank You Kiwi.

Light-Chasing Robot Book Set

My 6 year old grandson and I had a great time building this well designed robot. Unfortunately the light sensors are a weak link. The flashlight light source, while bright, must nearly touch the sensors to initiate motor function.
