My Robotic Pet: Coding Chameleon | Thames & Kosmos - LOCAL PICK UP ONLY

***LOCAL PICK UP ONLY***

Build a loyal robotic reptile buddy that responds to your gestures, changes colors, and automatically fires and retracts its tongue! This first-of-its-kind robotic chameleon is equipped with a color sensor, infrared sensor, and RGB LEDs that allow you to code and program it in three unique play modes. In Coding Mode, you’ll use the included colorful action cards to program your pet to carry out a series of movements. In Wild Mode, the chameleon will camouflage and turn into the color of its surroundings, stalk possible prey, and shoot its tongue out at objects that might be a yummy treat! Finally, in Pet Mode, your robot pal gets friendly, walking around searching for you and showing its excitement when you pet it.

In addition to learning how the robotic components are utilized in real-life devices, you’ll also gain insight into how biomimicry looks to natural and organic systems to inspire, improve, and solve engineering design challenges.
