Specifications: Power Source: AA battery x 2 pieces & 9v x 1 piece (not included) Power usage: Max approx. 780mA | Elec Circuit Operating approx 100ma | Sleeping 1.8mA Battery duration: Approx. 2 hrs (continuous operation) | Elec circuit approx 2.5 Size: Body W145 x H85 X L140 mm | Weight 420g (w/o batteries)

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. Awards: - Dr. Toy 100 Best Children's Products - Dr. Toy 10 Best High-Tech Products - Creative Child Magazine Preferred Choice Award winner Specifications: Power Source: "AA" battery x 2 pieces (not included) Size: Body L152 x H73 X W98 mm | Weight 280g

Wonderball is an RF controlled wonder. It spins on a dime and moves at blazing speeds. Wonderballs can compete against each other to disable their opponents with built-in laser guns. No soldering required. Movement: Two tracks driven by two DC motors. Control: Infrared light source and light detector.

These new robots are designed to introduce students into the exciting world of electronics! Designed with high schools and technical colleges in mind, these robots come complete with detailed instructions. These kits require soldering and make great class projects for beginners! How Magical! A smart Robot Mouse tracks a black line using a photo interrupter for its eyes. How Funny! Create a twisting and turning road layout yourself with black tape on a white background. See how it tracks the black line to find the target. Ages 12 & up Features: - Sound activated - Programmed IC - Uses 3 photo interrupters to detect a black line - 2 sets of gear motors (unassembled) - Power Source: 4 "AA" Batteries (not included)
