varikabi – Variable Mini-Bot as a Plug-in Kit – Set of 7 Different Colored Robots for STEM Education
This box contains the parts to build 7 robots. They are not packed separately.
Varikabi has 12 astounding functions
- masters obstacle courses
- follows dark and light lines
- chases or pushes objects
- searches, tracks, or circles under light
- tracks or circles under shadows
- circles on dark or light areas
The patented combination of three light sensors makes it possible for varikabi to react sensitively to their surroundings, recognizing objects, obstacles, light, shadows, and ground markings due to the slightest color tone contrast. Then, depending on the chosen function, varikabi adjusts its direction and speed to match its environment.
Its “brain cells” are simply two transistors, making it even more amazing that it can do what it does. The control circuits are assembled using a breadboard in the wink of an eye. By adjusting the sensors in various ways, you can explore 12 different functions and astounding behaviors one after another. In this way, you playfully learn the basics of electronics.
Your custom-made Mini-Robots
Whatever color of your robot, varikabi can be built as a dog, sea lion, mouse, giraffe, beetle, bird, and frog. varikabi is available in blue, red, green, yellow, neon green, white/pink, and black. The colored cable ties also serve as legs, feathers, antennae, ears, or tails. You can choose one of the various animals in the instructions or let your imagination do the work.
