Weasel (with soldering)

Weasel is a tenacious little robot warrior that embodies two sensors that allow it to “see” a line or “feel” its way along walls and around corners. The two motors and contact sensor activate the wall sensing micro switch to control the motors’ on/off operation that determines the path of a wall. It is the classic robot design using the “Left Hand Rule” to escape mazes. With OWI’s continued pursuit in making robots “smart”, they have added an additional feature to this little bundle of energy… a sonic tracking system. Underneath Weasel’s sturdy plastic base, you will discover photo- transistors that enable it to detect and follow a black line. Wow! Weasel still has more features! Want… speed? Well, its three-speed gearbox will help navigate at the velocity you determine.
This is a Beginner Soldering Series robot that make great entrants for robotic competitions, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities.

Weasel has been selected by the Children's Institute For Childhood Resources as one of the "100 Best Children's Products" and "10 Best Software/High Tech Products" for 2003.

Rockit Robot (with soldering)

OWI introduces to their award winning Beginner Series of educational electronic robot and science kits...RocKit Robot! The new futuristic style includes high performance and superior materials. Rockit Robot evolves as a spunky little robot that you can build. Explore the fundamentals of robotics with this informative and entertaining robot kit. Appropriate for ages 10 and up, RocKit Robot is an intelligent robot with a touch/sound sensor. If it comes in contact with an object or hears a loud noise (such as hands clapping), RocKit Robot automatically reverses, then turns left before embarking on a new course.Rockit Robot is lots of fun from the moment it arrives.
Requiring only basic hand tools and soldering equipment, it contains step-by-step instructions, unassembled printed circuit board, condenser microphone,and an easy-to-assemble mechanical drive system. It's an ideal gift for the educator, hobbyist or budding scientist.

Moonwalker II (with soldering)

Not one, but two! Light and Sound! MOON WALKER II has combined the technology of two sensors. A whimsical indication of future trends, MOON WALKER II begins to walk when it detects a change in light intensity or sound commands. MOON WALKER II continues it's four legged voyage until instructed by an internal timer to stop.

This kit presents an engaging opportunity to learn about some of the mechanics, operation and history of robots. When assembled, this robot uses a phototransistor to sense changes in light (such as turning on a lamp) and a condenser microphone to sense changes in sound (such as clapping). It converts those stimuli into electronic signals to power a motor, and MOON WALKER II will walk forward for a preset time. When it stops, affecting other change in light area light or sound may activate it again.

The sensors can be adjusted for different sensitivity levels.

Specifications:
  • Movement: 2 legs on each side by crank shaft.
  • Control: (1)Sound sensor including condenser microphone/transistor;
    (2)Light sensor/photo-transistor.
  • Power Source: "AA" x 1 (not included).
  • Power Consumption: Approx. 210mA.
  • Size: H130 x Diameter 100mm.

Spider III (with soldering)

Cool" just got even cooler with the invention of SPIDER III, the third generation in our quest to offer the most advanced design and technology available. With its radical walking style, this intelligent robot avoids interference. This robot teaches us to turn the other cheek when confronted in a challenging situation. SPIDER III emits a light sensor beam; detects bogus things in front of it, signaling it to change direction and continue on a new path of righteousness.
Do you know why SPIDER III is so cool? It has more features and costs less than the older version. That's way cool! Man gropes his way in the dark. A bat flies in the dark sensing its own super-sonic wave reflecting back from obstacles. Likewise, SPIDER III emits light sensor rays and judges by the reflection if there are any obstacles in front and gives signals in the form of electric pulses to alter the rotating direction of the left side motor to evade obstacles.

Specifications:
  • Movement: 3 legs on each side by crank shaft(s), 2 DC motors.
  • Power: "AA" battery x 2 each, 9v x 1 each (not included).
  • Control: infrared/photo transistor.
  • Size: H110 x L140 x W100 MM

Hyper Line Tracker (with soldering)

"Hyper" yes, and we really mean it. This cyber bug possesses a sonic tracking system, and is fortified with a multitude of sensors: photo transistors to detect a black line, Tracking memory to memorize its last track of the black line, and two red LEDs that flash to tell you which side of the light sensor is activated. What this all means is that Hyper Line Tracker is the fastest line navigator that we have ever seen.

Hyper Line Tracker follows a course of your own design! By using a light emitter, light sensor circuitry, and tracking memory, it demonstrates how robots "see" a pathway. Make a path with a black felt marker or black tape and watch how light sensors enable the robot's motors to make course corrections.

Specifications:
  • Movement: 2 wheels driven by 2 DC motors.
  • Control: LED/photo transistor, tracking memory.
  • Power Source: "AA" x 4 each (not included).
  • Power Consumption: (circuit) 60mA, (mechanical) 300mA.
  • Size: H110 x L155 x W160 mm.
