OWI WAO PROGRAMMABLE ROBOT
OWI introduces the fourth generation of WAO programmable robot kits and WOW is it spectacular! WAO Kranius is a two-wheeled robot that you can program without a personal computer. The intellectual brain consists of an 8 bit micro-controller and keyboard with 33 tactile buttons. This bundle of brains can store up to 60 programming steps and 30 FOR-NEXT multiplex loops. In addition to its futuristic and powerful design, it features 6 vision sensors to see in front and below the robot. The “eyes” that enable it to see in front of itself has two infrared LEDs and an infrared detector IC. 4 floor light sensors (CdS sensor) will enable it to distinguish the contrast of light underneath its shell.

Dr. Robot says this robot is more than just fun. Assembling, building, and following instructions help develop fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Because it’s programmable, one has to plan ahead, think systematically and logically, develop problem-solving skills, and will challenge you to think creatively.

Easy to assemble, this OWIKIT Intermediate building level robot makes a great entrant for robotic competitions, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities.

OWI introduces a self-contained arena for its highly acclaimed OWIKITS. The Robot Rink is an exciting way to “celebrate” and demonstrate students’ robot construction. The individual or multiple robotics interaction arena is lightweight, tough, and classroom tested.

Made of a durable, high-density styrene plastic construction. OWI’s Robot Rink is 44 inches in diameter, 3 inches high and will collapse into a compact 8-inch diameter coil for easy storage. The smart-lock joint resists separation, but also allows for multiple rinks to be attached for a mondo robot plaza. It’s perfect for robot experimentation at home, school, museums, and summer camp environments. The mini instructions will provide suggestions for robot applications, such as: single or multiple crash-action robots, tracks inside or outside the Robot Rink, great for avoiding type robots, containment of projectiles, and how about a robot soccer game?

Easy to assemble; it’s as simple as uncoiling and connecting the open ends. Voila… Let’s get ready to R O B O T!

OWI-007 Robotic Arm Trainer
The ROBOTIC ARM TRAINER teaches the basic robotic sensing and locomotion principles, testing your motor skills, as you build and control the Arm. You can command this unit with it's five-switch, wired controller with corresponding lights to grab, release, lift, lower, rotate wrist and pilot sideways 350 degrees. After assembly, observe the dynamics of gear mechanisms through the transperent Arm. Five motors and five joints allow flexibility and fun! For educators and home schoolers. You will find the Robotics Technology Curriculum (optional) and Personal Computer Interface (optional) very useful tools.
