The perfect primer for the downright amazing Mindstorm series from LEGO, the Robotics Discovery Set lets you create a fully equipped robotics lab right in your own home.

Once you've mastered building these and programming their intuitive Scout microcomputer, you can move on to the Constructopedia for tips, tricks, and ideas on what to build next.

MINDSTORMS Droid Developer Kit Our Price: $99.99 $49.99
Amazon.com age range: 9 years and up
Usually ships in 2-3 days.

LEGO Mindstorms has created a kit that includes everything you need to make your own moving, bleeping, thinking, interacting Star Wars robot. The Droid Developer Kit is the height of robotic recreation for tinkering kids (and adults!). The kit has 657 LEGO pieces. R2-D2 and Destroyer Droid components are easily distinguishable from other building pieces, which are smaller and less detailed. But the heart of the matter is the kit's Micro Scout microcomputer. It features seven built-in programs, memory to add new programs, and facilitates the use of light-sensory and motor functions. CD-ROM software specific to the Droid Developer kit is also included with broad-based building instructions, activities, programming tips, robotics tips, and fan club and registration forms. A "Constructopedia" gives full-color, illustrated examples of the special features that can be built from the kit. [Read more about this item.] Order this kit now - Online!

Hyper Peppy Robot Kit by Elenco Electronics Inc.
HyperPeppy Robot Kit Our Price: $23.99
Amazon.com age range: 10 - 12 years
Customer Fun Rating:
Usually ships in 24 hours.

From Elenco Electronics' Robotics series comes Hyper Peppy, a "build it yourself" educational kit. Hyper Peppy is an electronic robot with sound sensor control and a built-in condenser microphone--if it comes into contact with an obstacle or hears a loud noise, it automatically reverses itself and charts a new course. Dr. Toy voted this one of the "100 Best Children's Products of 1995," and it's easy to see why. Hyper Peppy is a three-wheeled, bubble-top robot that's, well, hyper and peppy! It really gets kids interested in the fundamentals of electronics. Hyper Peppy is one of the beginning-level robots in the Robotics series. Elenco Electronics also makes intermediate and advanced experience kits. Says Dr. Toy: "A sure-fire winner for a new adventure for a parent and child to do together." The robot requires two AA batteries (not included) and initial adult supervision. (Ages 10 and older.) [Read more about this item.] Order this kit now - Online!

This is a fantasy toy for any industrious boy--or girl: a robot you can build yourself! Soccer Robot can be an educational tool that later becomes a prized possession. It comes as an incomplete kit that must be built from scratch to full operation. In it is a six-legged, remote-controlled buddy that is driven by two DC motors. With an adult on hand, kids can use common household tools (not included) to build it. Soccer Robot won Dr. Toy's Best "Vacation Product" in 1997, and it is a fun way to get kids interested in building, electronics, and robotics. Besides tools, two AA batteries are required. Everything else is in the box! [Read more about this item.] Order this kit now - Online!
