A dynamic learning platform! Pre-programmed for quick enjoyment, and comes with instructions for custom applications. Customizable, no soldering required. Learn basic skills toward advanced robot building. This incredibly simple-to-build robot will provide you with hours of enjoyment and a great platform on which to develop more sophisticated applications. The 9-volt battery-powered robot (battery not included) is driven by dual electric motors and controlled by a Microchip PIC16C505 PICmicro Microcontroller. With two light sensors and infra-red "collision detectors" the robot is pre-programmed with the following “behaviors” built in: Random Movement – change forward direction when an object is encountered“Photovore” – seek out light “Photophobe” – avoid light “Maze Solver” – follow wall These behaviors can be selected along with the ability to manually control the operation of the robot by the infra-red remote control included in the kit (two AAA batteries required). With the addition of a BASIC STAMP BS2 Microcontroller (not included) customized applications can easily be built. All of the software code for the Basic Stamp applications is included on the accompanying CD-ROM along with illustrated assembly instructions, many schematic. Block diagrams and over 100 pages of robot building basics are taken from the best-selling Robot Builder’s Bonanza, 2nd edition, by Gordon McComb. This product is designed for users aged 14 years and up. The kit includes: pre-assembled and tested PCB, robot hardware, remote control, instruction booklet, a CD-ROM containing BASIC Stamp 2 programming instructions and code.

BUILD A POWERFUL SUMO-BOT DESIGNED TO WITHSTAND METAL-AGAINST-METAL COMPETITION! This NEXT GENERATION robot from McGraw-Hill features: * The power of the Parallax BASIC Stamp 2 controller * A tracked drive for maneuverability over all types of terrain * "Flipping ability" to put the competition on its back * A steel frame that encourages customization * Mechanical features designed to withstand the shock of combat * AA battery powered for longer operation 
 MORE POWER! MORE SOPHISTICATION! MORE FUN! 
 Here's a fun and affordable way for hobbyists to take their robot building skills to the next level and if they wish, be part of the hottest new craze in amateur robotics: Sumo competition. 
 Great for ages 14+, the kit comes complete with: * Pre-assembled PCB * Multi-function, duel channel remote control * Robot hardware including collision-sensing infra-red LED and receivers * CD-ROM with programming instructions and file chapters of robot building tips and tricks * A built-in Parallax BASIC Stamp 2 and prototyping area allowing hobbyists to create their own robot application without having to purchase additional Parallax products 
 Powered by four AA batteries (not included) and featuring a built-in infra-red remote control, the Sumo-Bot is pre-programmed with the following behavior "built in" to jumpstart custom applications. 
 * Random Movement--The robot moves about randomly, reversing direction when an obstacle is in its way * Photovore--Seeks out light * Photophobe--Avoids light * Maze Solver--Follows a wall 
 Developed by the creators of the popular BUILD YOUR OWN ROBOT KIT.
