Moon Walker II begins to walk when it detects a change in light intensity or sound commands, and continues its four-legged voyage until instructed by an internal timer to stop.
This kit presents an engaging opportunity to learn about some of the mechanics, operation and history of robots. When assembled, this robot uses a phototransistor to sense changes in light (such as turning on a lamp) and a condenser microphone to sense changes in sound (such as clapping). It converts those stimuli into electrical signals to power a motor, and the robot walks forward for a preset time. When it stops, affecting another change in area light or sound may activate it again. The sensors may be adjusted for different sensitivity levels. Printed circuit board pre-assembled. “AA” x 1 (not included). Requires 4 AA batteries (not included).
