OWI introduces the second generation of its binary navigating robot kit. Binary Player Robot is very "predictable", two-wheeled robot. An internal program stored on a memory disk created by the user ascertains its predictability. Therein, however, lays the fun. Binary Player Robot is easily re-programmable by the controller -- you.
Binary Player Robot is controlled by black and white patterns on a disk, which are read by an infrared sensor. Particular patterns activate either the two wheels to turn left, right, forward, or pause. These on/off commands illustrate the basic principles of binary coding. To change a movement program, the operator simply creates a new disk pattern and/or changes the speed variation on the 3-speed gearbox.
It’s an excellent Beginner series robot. Battery-controlled kit can teach the basic principles of robotic sensing and locomotion. Only basic hand tools are required for assembly. An infrared sensor and printed circuit board controls your robot. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
