Thames & Kosmos | Robotics Smart Machines: Tracks & Treads | for Kids 8+ | STEM Kit Builds 8 Robots | Color Manual to Help with Assembly | Requires Tablet or Smartphone | Parents’ Choice Silver Award

The latest installment in the award-winning robotics: smart machines line, this version makes a speciality of motorized machines that make use of continuous tracks, sometimes called tank treads, to move themselves and other objects around. Models are controlled by programs and an ultrasound sensor, so along with constructing the machines, you’ll be able to also discover ways to use the included visual programming app on your tablet or smartphone to code the programs yourself! build a robot with two large continuous tracks that drives around and avoids obstacles in its path. The attentive Tracker Bot model detects your hand, moves toward it, and follows it around. Construct models of real-world smart machines, like a conveyor belt robot that carries small objects and an escalator model that carries objects up to another level.
