IMAGINE A WORLD......For those block builders and brick wizards out there who have always dreamed of taking your amazing LEGO or similar dreamscapes to life - Tinkerbots has arrived! In a nutshell this German company has come up with the ultimate solution for robotizing your construction sites, vehicles and other brick beings. You can even use an app via Bluetooth 4.0 (Android 5+ or iOS 7+) on your smartphone as a controller for these simple fixes to make it all move and react to you own motions. These are the guys that are bringing it all home for you.
The endless possibilities are just getting started by this company that is giving brick building a brain. So, no more inanimate plastic blocks, simply start snapping together kinetic modules wirelessly! And have a peek at their quickie promo video right here....
Right now they have on offer three basic sets, though there is hardly anything basic about these advanced toys for girls and boys (of all ages I might add). The are the Wheeler Set (about $150US) which includes all the parts to make the 'Roadster' and the 'Android L30' which can both move and act as a central hub -- as depicted here:
And for a bit more moola you can shell out for the Advanced Builder Set (about $250US) that includes the same parts as the above plus those that will allow you to, in addition, create the 'Racer', the 'Top Dog', as well as the intricate 'Donnergugi' -- these extend your abilities to grab things as well as moving in different directions as create an animal (dog) that can perform menial tasks.
Lastly is the big daddy of them all - the Sensoric Mega Set (right now about $470) - and this basically includes all the above as well as all the parts to build the complex and dare I say, revolutionary 'Grabber Base' and 'Braitenberg'. Build cars, animals, monsters...the sky is the limit here. Includes the built-in infrared distance sensors that allow what you build to know where it is in proximity to you or other obstacles. And did you know they are even testing a solar adapter (!) for power uses - we need to spread the love here. Finally allow your "crazy ideas" to take shape with these incredible and innovative sets that will literally take your already unique creations beyond the basic 2.0 upgrade. Sure it's for ages 6 and older...but YOU know who I'm talking to, 40-somethings (and up!)...
