But ALL I WANT are the orange monkeys!! I would gladly have bought this carp just for the monkeys! Will Iever get a collection of orange screaming woot monkeys???
This… looks like it could be a ton of fun. The built in camera is what especially makes it awesome. I could attach a light to it, and use it to explore my crawlspace for small animals and whatnot (all from the comfort of my computer).
This thing is actually VERY fun. Used one a lot before. Camera works great, drives amazingly, and can be EASILY taken apart and reassembled to do many different things.
I’d recommend it
We have this system at home, its a great product, and especially for those engineers hard at work. It provides nice ideas and nice engineering for those youngsters hard at work. If your child is good and likes to build with legos, and robotics, this this is a good gift to get
It says that this includes over 300 parts. I bet this includes every one of those zip ties, every nut, bolt, plastic bag, box, and piece of Styrofoam that comes with it. Even with that I am still getting one as it looks cool even for us grown-up kids.
I am actually in the VEX Robotics Competition so this could be a good practice tool for students starting out their first year in robotics http://www.vexrobotics.com/
I used one of these in my high school robotics team (we did it in between the FIRST FRC season, if that means anything to anyone)
These things are really fun, but you have to have an engineering kind of mind. If you’ve used the lego mindstorm before it’s similar but about 100 times as much fun. It uses C natively but, if i recall correctly, there is a graphical interface like the mindstorm uses.
