Description

  • Reacts like a small living creature to light, shadows, obstacles, and movement
  • Patented sensor technology with 12 fascinating functions and behaviors
  • Follows light sources, lines, objects, or even your hand
  • Configurable breadboard circuits – no soldering or programming required
  • A playful introduction to electronics, robotics, and artificial life for ages 8 and up

The varikabi is a unique robot kit that offers children and technology enthusiasts an exciting introduction to the world of electronics. Thanks to its patented sensor technology, it reacts remarkably sensitively to its surroundings and displays behaviors normally associated with small living creatures.

Using only two transistors as its "brain," the robot can detect obstacles, light sources, shadows, lines, and objects. Depending on the selected circuit configuration, it immediately adapts its speed and direction to its environment. The result is surprisingly lifelike behavior – without a microcontroller, software, or programming.

Different control circuits can be assembled within minutes using the included breadboard. By changing a few connections and adjusting the sensor positions, you can explore 12 different functions while learning the fundamentals of electronics in a fun and hands-on way.

The included parts can be assembled into a variety of robotic animals, including a dog, sea lion, mouse, giraffe, beetle, bird, or frog. The colorful cable ties not only hold everything together but also become legs, antennae, feathers, ears, or tails. Of course, you can also create your own imaginative designs.

Assembly takes approximately 45 minutes. You only need a 9 V battery, a small pair of pliers, and side cutters. No soldering is required. The detailed experiment manual provides step-by-step instructions for building the models and exploring the different circuit configurations and behaviors.

The varikabi robot kit received the prestigious "spiel gut" award for its outstanding combination of learning, experimentation, and play.
