ROBOTICS FOR KIDS It’s creepy, it’s crawly and it’s built by you! Meet MeccaSpider. Designed to provide hours of interactive fun, MeccaSpider combines construction and programming skills in a hi-tech robotic spider. Meccano, which owns former construction toy brand Erector, offers the latest in robotics for kids with this unique STEM toy that draws on concepts used in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to build and control the programmable robot spider. Children will enjoy the creative challenge of constructing and programming the spider alone or as a fun activity with a parent and feel proud when the creepy crawly robot comes to life using built-in buttons or the free Meccano app on a mobile device. INTERACTIVE BUILT-IN GAMES AND MODES A great way to introduce kids to the fun and innovative world of robotics, kids can interact with the creepy crawly creature in a variety of modes and games. The infrared remote control spider toy will sense movement, chase down enemies and spray venom in attack mode, actively patrol in guard mode, and move around on its own in autonomous mode, playing songs and sound effects. Featuring an IR sensor, MeccaSpider detects movement and chases after whatever it sees, so it can engage, pursue and apprehend whatever is in its path. The programmable robot also comes with built-in games for hours of entertainment. Try a round of ‘Repeat After Me’, a game that challenges kids to copy an array of LED patterns. Gather friends in a circle for a scary game of ‘Venom Roulette’ and see who moves and gets sprayed first. With its endless array of options, this innovative and interactive robot for kids is sure to become an all time favorite. Assembled dimensions: 18″L x 16″W x 7.5″H (46 x 41 x 19 cm)

Learn about the wonder of robotics with the 4M Table Top Robot. The Table Top Robot is a hands-on science kit that teaches the basics of robotics by constructing a working robot crab. When activated, the robot crab scuttles under its own power and changes direction when it encounters an obstacle. Place it on a tabletop and watch it perform acrobatic tricks. No special tools or knowledge required; the kit contains detailed instructions and all the necessary parts. Requires one AAA battery (not included). Recommended for ages 8 years and up.

Robotic arm technology just got a little more interesting with hydro-mechanically fun. With Hydraulic Arm Edge, you will command six axes of varied movements: the gripper to open and close up to 1.89 inches, wrist rotation of 180 degrees, wrist mobility of 98 degrees, elbow range of 44 degrees, base rotation of 270 degrees, and shoulder motion of 45 degrees. With a vertical reach of 16.35 inches, horizontal reach of 12.42 inches, and lifting capacity of 50g, your robotic friend is ready for your genius to erupt. With the removal of the gripper, you can activate the suction apparatus. This feature enables the user to elevate objects with a larger surface area (like a small mobile phone). Another prodigious attribution is a braking system that is integrated in the lever controllers to execute all commands accurately. WOW! How does this equate to fun? Your children will have total command and manipulation using the science principles of a Hydraulic system and its application. Easy to follow instructions with detailed graphic illustrations pave the way for successful and satisfying kit building. Compliment your engineering, math, science, and technology (STEM) learning strategy. No battery or motor required. It is powered by water; thus, the “Hydraulic” significance and how it manipulates axes movement via lever controllers. – For more than 3 decades, OWI continues its pursuit to satisfy educational instructors and the most discriminating parents. Hydraulic Arm Edge is recommended for ages 10 and up, but with its 229 assembly parts, it will challenge the beginner engineering enthusiasts.
