Build an awesome, nine-inch-diameter, rolling robotic sphere and other robot models. Drive your robot using the remote-control interface in the Super Sphere app, available for tablets and smartphones, or write programs using the easy, visual programming language in the app. The onboard Sound Sensor lets you program your robots to perform specific sequences of commands in response to the number of claps (or other loud sounds) that it detects.

Robotics is a vast and thrilling interdisciplinary field involving physics, engineering, and computer science. This kit gives children a simple, fun, and customizable introduction to robotics that lets them build seven motorized machines controlled by programs and a Sound Sensor. Each robot model moves in a unique and interesting way, demonstrating how the same mechanical parts can come together to yield many different results.

Construct the Super Sphere robot, which has two 50X Planetary Gearboxes ? and a Sound Sensor mounted inside a hollow, spherical shell made of 32 interlocking pieces. Learn about the inner mechanics and the fascinating physics principles that enable the Super Sphere to drive forward, backward, and turn left and right. Then, build a robot with 2 jumbo-sized wheels made from the same pieces as the Super Sphere’s outer shell. Assemble the Bigfoot Bot and experiment with a robot that crawls around on two humongous feet. Adventure into the animal kingdom by building robots that resemble and mimic the movements of a penguin and a horseshoe crab. Program a funny dancing robot that can shake, wiggle, and twirl on command. Make your own robotic game in which you try to toss shapes into a hole in a sphere as it moves around. Each robot comes with a preset program which you can run immediately after building it. After learning how the technology works, you can build and program your own robots using the kit’s 182 building pieces.

A full-colour, 60-page, step-by-step illustrated manual helps you assemble all of the models and includes information about robotics in the real world. In addition to the robotics experiments, you can conduct hands-on experiments in 3-dimensional geometry using the triangular and pentagonal shell pieces.

The free app connects to the robot models via a wireless Bluetooth connection. In the programming mode of the app, the visual programming language allows you to command the robots’ 50X Planetary Gearboxes ? to move for different lengths of time, at different power levels, and in different directions.

This play-and-learn construction set helps children learn the principles of pneumatics and uses realistic models to demonstrate how compressors, pneumatic valves and cylinders work.

The powerful and compact compressor guarantees a reliable supply of compressed air to the models. In addition to vehicles such as front loaders, hay bale pickers and tree trunk grips, other educational models provide young inventors with background knowledge on the subject of pneumatics in combination with the didactic activity information in the eLearning portal (fischertechnik- elearning.com).

The planetary model clearly demonstrates why the moon has phases or why solar and lunar eclipses occur.

Optical lenses with various focal lengths, mirror, lens tip lamps and a variety of other parts allow construction of a microscope, magnififier, telescope and periscope.

With the periscope you can look around corners and the microscope makes tiny objects really big! With the sun dial you can determine the time of day, and the model with optical fifiber demonstrates what total reflflection is and how data can be transferred using light.

The Dynamic Tuning Expansion Set is ideal for making all Fischer Technik obstacle courses even bigger and faster with additional obstacle course parts and add-on elements.

Many special parts such as 90 Degree curves, cross-overs, catch funnels, short and long flex-rails promise even more excitement.

Experiment with the physics of air pressure and suction!

A robot that defies gravity?! That’s what you get with Air-Walker, a four-legged bot that uses an ingenious system of suction cups and pumps to crawl along smooth, vertical surfaces like windows. A follow-up to the award-winning Geckobot STEM experiment kit, Air-Walker uses technology similar to that found in its reptilian predecessor, but with easier assembly.

Your Air-Walker can crawl in a straight line, to the left, or to the right, while a special mechanism makes the robot’s head move back and forth as its body moves forward. You can also build four other models with the same components and learn how suction and mechanical devices can be used in different real-world applications. A vacuum-suction machine sticks to and lifts flat panels, while a robot with just two suction cups rotates around a central pivot point.

This hands-on construction kit brings engineering and physics to life as it demonstrates the power of air pressure at work. A 24-page, full-colour manual guides your model building and experiments with clear step-by-step illustrated instructions.
