Binary Player Robot

Robotic Arm Training Kit
|
OWI introduces the second generation of its binary navigating robot kit. BINARY PLAYER ROBOT is very “predictable”, two-wheeled robot. An internal program stored on a memory disk created by the user ascertains its predictability. Therein, lies the fun. Binary Player Robot is easily re-programmable by the controller… you. “The best products, the best hobby companies. Hobby Outlook Magazine has recognized Binary Player Robot as “2005 Best Educational Item”. A panel of expert judges and readers of the highly acclaimed magazine selected it. Creative Child Magazine has selected it as “2005 Toy of the Year Award (Electronic Construction Toys category).”100 Best Children’s Products” and “10 Best High Tech Products” awarded by the Children’s Institute for Childhood Resources. The New York Amsterdam News – Gold Award winner. WOW! Binary Player Robot is controlled by black and white patterns on a disk, which are read by an infrared sensor. Particular patterns activate either of two wheels to turn left, right, forward, or pause. These on/off commands illustrate the basic principles of binary coding. To change a movement program, the operator simply creates a new disk pattern and/or changes the speed variation on the 3-speed gearbox. Parents love this item because their children can learn the fundamentals of binary system coding; determine the working specification of the robot; gain experience with a reprogrammable robot; solve programming problems. In fact, the programs are nothing more than a series of steps to produce a solution to a problem. Systematic and critical thinking skills are utilized. Watch Video Now[Add to my Inquiry Basket][?] |
The Robotic Arm Trainer teaches the basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles while testing your motor skill as you build and control the arm. You can command this unit with its five switch wired controller with lights to grab, release, lift, lower, rotate wrist, and pivot sideways 350 degrees. After assembly, observe the dynamics of gear mechanisms through the transparent arm. Five motors and five joints allow for flexibility and fun! For educators and home schoolers, you’ll find the robotics technology curriculum and personal computer interface useful tools.
It is honored by being selected by The Institute For Childhood Resources as “100 BEST CHILDREN’S PRODUCT”, and “10 BEST EDUCATIONAL PRODUCTS”.
