Timberdoodle's review Video   See Bioloid in action here! How do you begin to describe an educational course that years ago would have been the fodder of comic books, but today is so vital that the U.S. Naval Academy has not only acquired fifty such kits for classroom instruction but also integrated the platform into their mechanical engineering courses? Bioloid is a world-renowned robotic curriculum made up of ingeniously-designed, interchangeable, block-shaped parts. Unlike other robotic kits that build a single form, Bioloid components encourage your children to build robots in a variety of shapes to accomplish a variety of tasks. With an amazing collection of servos, a full-motion editor, and visual programming environment, they can program the Bioloid to interact with its surroundings while performing complex movements. The various construction and programming options allow their robotic project to be as simple or complex as they want it to be. The Bioloid comes with several sample programs to make it walk, avoid obstacles, and interact with sound. Using the included software you can program your own custom movements and behavior. The included rechargeable 9.6v battery pack powers your robotic creations. The Bioloid Humanoid Robotics Kit is a kit in the truest sense. Your child will be working hours just to assemble the Bioloid modules. No soldering is required, but he will need to use a Japanese Industrial Standard screwdriver so that he doesn't strip out all the cams in these astonishingly tiny screws. This is one product for which words alone are just not adequate; you really need to check our website for lots of video of this amazing kit. While you are there, read the downloadable manual -- for such complex subject matter, it is remarkably lucid. The Bioloid software is freeware, so whether you're using this kit for homeschooling, a science fair project, or just plain fun, you can download and install it on as many computers as you need. Bioloid Beginner Kit is built around smart, serially-controlled servo technology, which allows the user to construct a wide variety of robot configurations. The Beginner Kit is a subset of the Comprehensive Kit and is a cost-effective way to gauge the interest of your child. It can be upgraded to the Comprehensive Kit at a later date if you choose. With the combination of a flexible construction system and easy-to-use graphical programming software, the Bioloid kit is the best we have seen!   Features Preview AX-12 User Manual The kit comes with: 19 * AX-12 Actuator Modules 1 * AX-S1 Sensor Module 1 * Break out PCB serial connection board 1 * Microcontroller module Atmel ATMega mcu 1 * Base unit adaptor module 1 * NiCd 6V 600 mA-Hr battery with charger 5 * RS-232 Serial Cables 1 * CD-ROM with English manuals and software CHOKING HAZARD - Small parts.
