Smart Robotics Machines: Tracks & Treads for Kids 8+

The award-winning robotics: smart machines line has a new installment, which focuses on motorized machines that utilize continuous tracks, also known as tank treads, to move themselves and other objects around. This version allows you to build and program your own robots, giving you a simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics.

The kit comes with 197 building pieces, enabling you to construct a variety of models, including a robot with two large continuous tracks that drives around and avoids obstacles, an attentive Tracker Bot that detects your hand and follows it, a conveyor belt robot that carries small objects, and an escalator model that transports objects to another level. You can also assemble other fun robots, such as a dozer Bot with a bulldozer attachment and a fire rescue robot with a ladder.

To control these machines, you'll use the included visual programming app on your tablet or smartphone (not included). The app allows you to code the programs yourself, putting you in charge of the robot's movements and actions. The 60-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps you assemble all of the models and teaches you about the underlying robotics technology.

Once you understand how the technology works, you can build your own unique robots using the kit's components and create your own programs in the programming app, which is available on both iOS and Android devices (tablet or smartphone required, not included).

This kit is a great way for kids to explore the world of robotics in a simple, engaging, and customizable manner. By building and programming their own robots, they can learn about the fundamentals of robotics, problem-solving, and coding, all while having fun and unleashing their creativity.
