Robot Arm

This kit allows you to build a robotic arm that can grasp anything up to 1.7 inches in width, lift objects weighing up to 100g, using its LED to provide you with a search light, and much more.

The wired control robot arm kit comes disassembled so it’s an ideal way to learn about basic robotic technology. If you know anyone that wants to come up with next great invention then this would be a perfect way to get them started. It has five motors all controlled via the hand set which allows you amazing, precession movements.

Here’s a video demonstration of the robot arm:

• 5 motor control handset
• LED light for night time operations
• No soldering required
• Dimentions: 22.8cm x 16cm x 38cm
• Powered by 4 x D size batteries.

OWI Robotics 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot (ATR)

While GeekAlerts.com has listed some cool robots in the past from the Robot Arm to the WowWee Femisapien Robot, we really haven’t blogged about too many. That is going to change, starting now with the OWI Robotics 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot (ATR), a really cool robot kit that you can put together yourself. You don’t have to be a robots engineer either, as this robotics kit is easy enough for kids to build. Plus there is no soldering.
The 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot has different track modules so you can build 3 fantastic variations: forklift, gripper, and rover. Once you build your robot, you can move forwards, backward, turn, lift, and grip using the wired remote control. With tank like treads the ATR rover is capable of traversing many types of surfaces.

With the OWI Robotics 3-in-1 All Terrain Robot, you learn as you play. Making it fun and educational for kits or adults. Putting it together, taking it apart, and transforming it to a different variation are all opportunities to learn and expand your creativity. Figuring out obstacle courses or lifting objectives, as well as controlling the All Terrain Robot to achieve these goals are also part of the educational fun.
