There are plenty of robot kits that are designed to teach kids about programming, but few offer the versatility of UBTech’s Jimu series. The Jimu Robots come in innovative building kits that can be made into predesigned, programmable devices, or you can get creative and invent your own. The robots are controlled by the Jimu app via Bluetooth, either with on-screen controllers or by using a block-based coding system. Targeted at children aged eight years and older, Jimu Robots are extremely powerful and versatile and will keep kids entertained while learning in- or outside of the classroom.
The Jimu TankBot Kit
The Jimu TankBot Kit has got what it takes to keep your creativity rolling. This kit includes heavy duty treads, an infrared sensor, and grab-and-lift technology to build TankBot – or your very own Tankbot creation. Engage in hands-on STEM learning by programming JIMU robots using Blockly code or with the PRP (Pose, Record, Play) function. The kit includes 190 snap-together parts, 1 infrared sensor, 6 smooth motion robotic servo motors, power adapter, and quick start guide.
