The Space Nine is an eight-legged star explorer. Use the remote control to make it move and turn. The Space Nine - can walk on rough surfaces, turn left, right and even cross rocks. When it moves, its first and third legs on one side of its body move - with the second and fourth leg on the other side. Create a moon surface for Space Nine to explore and enjoy the fun!

"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.

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, lies 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 of 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. Set your course and explore the fascinating world of Binary Player Robot! Dr. OWIKIT says this is an excellent Beginner Series robot. This battery-controlled kit can teach the basic principles of robotic sensing and locomotion. It features a pre-assembled printed circuit board, hardware, and mechanical drive system that can be handled by almost anyone from age 10 and up. Only basic hand tools are required for assembly.

OWI introduces a self-contained arena for its highly acclaimed OWIKITS. The Robot Rink is an exciting way to “celebrate” and demonstrate students’ robot construction. The individual or multiple robotics interaction arena is lightweight, tough, and classroom tested. Made of a durable, high-density styrene plastic construction. OWI’s Robot Rink is 44 inches in diameter, 3 inches high and will collapse into a compact 8-inch diameter coil for easy storage. The smart-lock joint resists separation, but also allows for multiple rinks to be attached for a mondo robot plaza. It’s perfect for robot experimentation at home, school, museums, and summer camp environments. The mini instructions will provide suggestions for robot applications, such as: single or multiple crash-action robots, tracks inside or outside the Robot Rink, great for avoiding type robots, containment of projectiles, and how about a robot soccer game? Easy to assemble; it’s as simple as uncoiling and connecting the open ends. Voila… Let’s get ready to R O B O T!

PicoBOTZ is a programmable build your self robot. The Picobotz™ can be programmed with up to 180 instructions. The programs are written on a PC running Windows and downloaded into the PicoBOTZ through an RS232 port. When the PicoBOTZ is switched on, if the programming cable is plugged in then the PicoBOTZ waits for communications from the PC. If the programming cable is unplugged then the PicoBOTZ starts to execute its current program. You can program the robot to avoid obstacles, follow a line and react to sound. Comes with software and cable.
