DESCRIPTION
KIBO 18 Kit is a Consumer-Robot from KinderLab Robotics. It is built for Education.
The KIBO 18 Kit builds on the art platforms, sensors and outputs of the KIBO 15 Kit, adding advanced sensors - the Eye (light) and the Telescope (distance) - and If/End If conditional programming with additional parameters. The kit contains one KIBO robot with 18 programming blocks, 12 parameter cards, 3 motors, 2 wheels, three sensor modules (light, sound and distance), 1 lightbulb module and art stages (stage support, stage pedestal, rectangular and round stage platforms), with a storage bin included. Children build the robot themselves and program it by lining up wooden programming blocks and scanning their bar codes with KIBO's built-in scanner, then press the green button to run the program, with no screen, tablet or computer involved. The robot is built to survive young children, runs on AA batteries, plugs its motors in from below through a transparent base, and takes art platforms so children can turn it into anything they imagine.
