Product description

Ever wanted to design your own Hexbug, now kids can do just that with Vex Robotics. The structure of this simple, flexible product line si the Vex IQ system being used in STEM programs, elementary and middle School robotics competitions around the world. To create the VEX Robotics Scarab, young engineers start by constructing the base chassis and assembling the six green legs. Once the chassis is in place. The brain and motors are connected to the bottom of the base and the legs are attached. Next steps include building the outer body shell and then wiring the brain to the sensors and motors using snap connectors. To program the robots, kids simply flip a series of switches on the robots brain allowing for quick experimentation with different modes which determines which behaviour makes the most sense for each robot. Each kit teaches kids that Motors receive signals from the brain, spinning into action, kicking the wheels into gear. The brain is the centralized computer that powers them, relaying signals from the remote control and activating the motors and sensors to bring the creature to life. One supplied. Size H8.9cm. Batteries required: 3 x AA plus 1 x 9V . For ages 5 years and over.
