Loading... Please wait...OWI introduces the second generation of its award winning Jungle Robot and is it Quadra-spectacular! As its name indicates, 4 in 1 Robot Kit features 4 different methods of movement: Traversing – hand over hand (Orangutan mode), 2 legged walking (Gorilla mode), 4 legged walking (Centaur mode) and 6 legged walking (Spider mode). Discover the dynamics of animal locomotion. What are the benefits or disadvantages of two or four or six-legged propulsion? Make a connection and differentiate the physical characteristics of stability verses mobility. Simple engineering and basic industrial design are accomplished in its self-stabilizing computations. Enough technical jargon, 4 in 1 Robot will be your friend the moment it arrives.
Dr. OWIKIT says this is an excellent Beginner series robot. This battery-controlled kit can teach the basic principles of robotic sensing and locomotion. It features a pre-assembled printed circuit board, hardware, and mechanical drive system that can be handled by almost anyone from age 10 and up. Only basic hand tools are required for assembly. A condenser microphone and printed circuit board controls your multi-function friend. 4 in 1 Robot Kit is more than just fun. Assembling, building, and following instructions help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination.
Easy to assemble, this OWIKIT Beginner building level robot makes a great entrant for robotic competitions, science fair projects, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities.

I gave this to my husband for Christmas, and he loved it! We assembled it together, which was fun. The assembly wasn't as hard as some people made it out to be. You just have to really pay attention when looking at the diagrams, and keep the pieces in their separate bags. The end result was amazing! It worked right away, no kinks. We love it!
