Recon 6.0 Programmable Rover

The future of robotics is now, and your child is a part of it as they program their own personal robot! More than a toy (though as a toy it is amazingly entertaining), the Recon 6.0 Programmable Rover is a highly capable robot that helps your child learn basic programming skills. As such, it's an incredibly motivating teacher -- the more programming your child learns, the more the robot will do for them! (It's even fond of dancing.)

The Rover is equipped with an easy-to-read LCD screen that displays all the currently programmed paths that your child has set using the built-in keypad and directional buttons. With your junior programmer at the 'wheel,' their robot will carry out the manual's 10 missions from the simple to the complex, including:

• navigate an obstacle course (practically unlimited potential here!)
• deliver a treat to Fido or Fluffy
• take a message to Mom or a friend
• serve as their room sentry to keep out pesky siblings
• perform a sneaky late-night spy mission...
• ...and plot unlimited missions of their own design ('brainstorming' is the word!)

Recon Rover Features:

• 10-button keypad
• LCD display
• bright LED 'headlights'
• tank-style track drive with third wheel -- practical as well as cool
• cargo hold
• microphone
• speaker
• sound effects
• memory bank that holds up to nine multi-directional trips
• 'return to home' command
• carrying handle
• detailed owner's manual
• tape measure

To ensure your child's success, each mission is thoroughly explained step-by-step in the Owner's Manual:

• Objective
• Background
• Training Brief
• numbered programming steps for your child to follow
• full-page Mission Map detailing the robot's intended path and distances traveled for each leg of the mission

Keypad is composed of six simple buttons: on/off, insert/delete, exit/stop, record, enter, and save, plus four directional buttons. Requires 3 'C' batteries (not included).

Sending their Rover on mission after mission, your child will never tire of programming new and increasingly complex maneuvers as they chart their own course into the exciting high-tech future of robotics!

Ages 8 and up.
