Remember the thrill of operating your first electric train set? Didn't last long, did it? What that electric train and virtually all remote control vehicles lack is purpose. Not so with Rokenbok. These exceptionally well-engineered vehicles actually do things like lift, load, grip, and flip. With light-up headlights, powered cranes, and scoops, you can create a mini working construction site.
This is a construction kit in every sense of the word, from the building of the tipping bridge to the management of the action factory. The wireless remote control construction equipment is as realistic as possible; no super-hero figurers or hard-hatted animals deface its down-to-earth design.
Imagine being able to remotely direct up to eight different solidly built vehicles from a single controller and you have imagined the wonder of Rokenbok. Not only that, but each command module can handle four controller pads so up to four players can play at the same time. So you can actually create construction sites that have four players and eight vehicles moving around.
But is it Educational?
Playing with Rokenbok helps children acquire fine-motor skills by assembling the Rokenbok building components and gain focused eye-hand coordination by using the Rokenbok remote control system. More important is the natural way Rokenbok can effect children's cognitive skills development. To use Rokenbok, children need to logically plan their design, what they want their construction site to do, and how each system can work in harmony with the next. They won't realize it, but while they are playing they are also gaining a foundational understanding of physics.
Rokenbok is recommended for ages six and up, only because many children younger than six are more inclined to move a car with their hands than with a controller. Rokenbok comes with a lifetime warranty on the command deck and control pad. Note that a command module is required to power the vehicles, so be sure to start with a set that includes one.
