OWI Robot Kits

Rockit Robot

Model: OWI-7769
(Sound/Touch Sensor)

OWI introduces their award winning Beginner Series of educational electronic robot and science kits. RocKit Robot! The RocKit Robot evolves as a spunky little robot that you can build. Explore the fundamentals of robotics with this informative and entertaining robot kit. Appropriate for ages 10 and up, RocKit Robot is an intelligent robot with a touch/sound sensor. If it comes in contact with an object or hears a loud noise (such as hands clapping), RocKit Robot automatically reverses, then turns left before embarking on a new course. RocKit Robot is lots of fun from the moment it arrives. Requiring only basic hand tools, it contains step-by-step instructions, pre-assembled printed circuit board, condenser microphone, and an easy-to-assemble mechanical drive system. It's an ideal gift for the educator, hobbyist or budding scientist.

Soccer Pro

Model: OWI-9850
(Wired Control)

There will be many hours scoring goals on the living room coffee table with SOCCER ROBOT. SOCCER ROBOT has six operational kicking mechanisms and includes a control box and ball. It runs forward, backward, turns left or right, and executes 360 degree turns. It will even help develop your hand/eye coordination skills.

Assembled Electronic Printed Circuit Board. Movement: 6 legs drive by 2 DC motors in a crank motion. Control: wire remote "AA" x 4 each (not included)

Sumo Robot

Model: OWI-9647
(Infrared Sensor)

Now OWIKIT brings the Sumo tradition to your home. The super warrior, SUMO ROBOT, can be controlled to assail and overpower its opponent or retreat to prepare for battle. An infrared sensor beam is emitted when detecting an opponent. Upon detection, it instructs the brain of SUMO to "charge," thereby creating a bona fide wrestling match!

Movement: 2 tractor style wheels powered by 1 DC motor. Control: Infrared sensor/detectable range: approx. 350mm (max.). "AA" x 2 each (electronic circuit), "AA" x 2 each (mechanical) (not included)

Moon Walker II

Model: MV-979
(LIght & Sound Sensor)

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).

OWI-979K: (PCB Unassembled) - Soldering Required

Spider III

Model: OWI-9727
(Infrared Beam)

With its radical walking style, this intelligent robot avoids interference by emitting an infrared beam which detects obstacles in its path. It then sends command signals in the form of electronic pulses to alter the rotating direction of its motor to evade these obstacles. Printed circuit board pre-assembled.

2 each "AA" batteries, 1 9V battery (not included).

OWI-972K (PCB Unassembled). Soldering Required

Hyper Line Tracker

Model: OWI-9737
(Infrared Sensor)

This cyber bug possesses a sonic tracking system, and is fortified with a multitude of sensors: photo transistors to detect a black line, tracking memory to memorize its last track of the black line, and two red LEDs that to tell you which side of the light sensor is activated.

Hyper Line Tracker follows a designed course. By using an infrared emitter, light sensor circuitry, and tracking memory, it demonstrates how robots "see" a pathaway. Make a path with a black felt tip or black tape and watch how infrared sensors enable the robot's motors to make course corrections. Printed circuit board pre-assembled. "AA" x 4 each (not included).

OWI-973K: (PCB Unassembled) - Soldering Required

Turbo 2000

Model: OWI-6567
(Optional Solar Power)

This OWIKIT explores propulsion principles and includes mini-construction projects that teach the basic principles of electricity and solar energy (optional).

Put the pedal to the metal and be amazed with this lightning fast speedster. You'll be blown away by its serious air propeller and its direct motor drive for "speed" - or by its "power/torque" when down shifting. The solar panel (sold separately) is juiced with a 1.4V, 350mA source of pure power. For the educationally-minded guardians, this fire plug kit includes mini-construction projects that teach basic principles of electricity and solar energy (optional). "AA" x 2 each (not included).
