STEM Experimant Kit: My Robotic Pet - Tumbling Hedgehog

By building your own delightful robotic pet hedgehog, you will be learning about the inner mechanical workings that enable the robot to move the way it does. Learn about gears, motors, sound sensors, LEDs, and the other components of these funny little pet.

The 172 building pieces in this kit, allows you to assemble a real robot that looks like a loveable little hedgehog.

After you build it, you can play with it by making different sounds and watch it tumble, roll, spin around, bristle its spines, and scurry around. The robot has a built-in sound sensor and is programmed to react to different sounds. Clap once, and the hedgehog will roll into a ball and tumble backwards. Clap multiple times, and the hedgehog will count your claps and tumble as many times as you instructed with your claps. You can also get the hedgehog to bristle its spines and act in a playful way with different patterns of claps. The hedgehog's eyes light up with LEDs.
