Modular Robotics

Code-a-pillar™ inspires little learners to be big thinkers by encouraging preschoolers to arrange (and rearrange) the easy-to-connect segments in endless combinations, sending Code-a-pillar™ on his path. This learning toy encourages experimentation while developing important skills like problem solving, planning & sequencing and critical thinking. There's no end to the combinations kids can make – mix up the segments and put them back together to send Code-a-pillar™ in a different direction every time!

Features:

• 1 motorized head and 8 easy-to-connect segments for endless combinations!
• Kids connect the segments to make Code-a-pillar™ go forward, left, right or wherever they choose
• Each segment lights up as the action happens!
• Motorized head segment features lights, fun character sounds and blinking eyes to bring Code-A-pillar™ to life!
• Can you reach the target? Challenge kids to configure the segments so Code-a-pillar™ can get to the targets and each their goals.
• Includes:
  • 8 segments: (3) move forward, (2) Turn Right 90 degrees, (2) Turn Left 90 degrees and (1) sound action segment
  • 2 destination targets
  • 1 motorized head
• Helps develop skills like sequencing, critical thinking, reasoning, discovery, memory, problem solving and experimentation
• Gives fine motor skills a good workout
• Kids discover that their actions make things happen (also known as cause & effect)!
• Requires 4 AA alkaline batteries, the fresher the better!

The Super Kit takes educational robotics to the next level. Students can use the familiar handheld Controller with the pre-programmed code to drive robots right out of the box, or program them to run autonomously using the additional Smart Sensors. While the included Clawbot IQ instructions help students easily build their first robot, the wide variety of additional included parts means that a team of students can build a robot that is bigger, stronger, and more functional.

• Over 850 Structural & Motion Components
• 4 Smart Motors, 7 Sensors, Robot Brain, Controller & Batteries Included
• Storage Bin & Tray included for organized storage of all parts

VEX EDR robots are driven (literally) by cutting-edge technology adapted by our experts specifically for education. The VEX ARM® Cortex®-based Microcontroller acts as the robot "brain", allowing for both autonomous and driver control of robots. VEX EDR robots can also bring code to life when programmed using a software solution like ROBOTC (included in ALL VEX kits).

This microcontroller also includes

VEXnetwireless communication, enabling remote control using up to two VEXnet Joysticks.

Whether you're building your first robot or outfitting a school, there's a solution for you. Starter Kits, designed for 2-6 students, come with everything needed to build a fully-functional robot The all-encompassing Classroom Bundle can engage up to 36 students and includes a classroom competition field! Not JUST for educators, VEX kits and bundles are also a great way for curious individuals to get started with robotics
