Robotics for young and old: not only children will love this toy
created on 11.12.2017
You want to give your son, daughter or younger sibling one of these intelligent robot toys, but would prefer to have it for yourself? No problem: we have toys for big and small children.
Today's kids are getting more and more unusual toys. While we learnt the principles of mechanics and electronics with Lego Technic back in the day, current robotics systems offer playful access to programming. No wonder mum and dad get jealous when their children race around the living room with robots. The solution? Buy the more complex version yourself. If you do end up overdoing it, your offspring can certainly help you out thanks to Professor YouTube.
For the grown-ups: Velleman Allbot VR
Take your first steps towards world domination with this rattle robot. The Velleman Allbot is compatible with Arduino and can be programmed in many different ways.
For the little ones: Meccano M.A.X.
The cuddly M.A.X. is somewhat reminiscent of WALL-E from the Pixar film of the same name. With built-in infrared sensors, it recognises obstacles and its face can display various emotions. Ideal for young hobbyists.
For the grown-ups: Sphero SPRK+
This small intelligent sphere can not only be programmed for a wide range of applications, it is also shock and water resistant. This invites you to try it out.
For the little ones: Sphero Mini
The simpler version offers various mini-games, comes in different colours and can be controlled with a smartphone.
For the big ones: UBTECH Jimu Astrobot Kit
A modular robot system that you can mould into three predefined shapes. But you can also let your imagination run wild. The app provides you with simple step-by-step instructions in 3D if you want to start with something more classic. Then you can get started with programming.
For the little ones: Tinkerbots My First Robot
The model from Tinkerbots has slightly fewer components and is a little less complex, but no less fun. The intuitive drag-and-drop user interface makes it easy to get started in the world of programming.
For the big ones: Make Block mBot 1.1 BT
The mBot consists of 38 parts and can be assembled in around 10 minutes. The colour-coded connectors make assembly very easy.
For the little ones: Mobsya Thymio Challenge Pack
The Thymio is also mobile and full of potential. The Challenge Pack offers various options for a playful introduction to the world of programming and comes with numerous accessories.
For the big ones: Kosmos Robot Master
Admit it, you've always wanted your own killer robot. You can build seven other variations, but with a name like Robot Master, there's only one real model. You'll spread fear and terror in your family. Well, maybe you'll just scare the cat, but that's a start.
For the little ones: Wowee Miposaur
Have you just watched Jurassic Park with the kids and now they're in dinosaur fever? Then there's nothing better than this prehistoric interactive giant lizard on wheels. Just as smart as the raptors in the film, only less deadly.
