Perhaps not the prettiest of robots, that is of course presuming you like your machines with more of a human face, if innard exposure is up your street then MA-VIN is your man.
Removed from the box this machine can be built in around ten minutes and has a quick-start option so you can see some action instantly and get that quick fix you need from your creation.
The beauty of this robot is its use of visual based programming, icons presented on your computer screen to be sorted and selected into action sequences for MA-VIN to perform.
As well as becoming a fine Robotocist as you practice and make progress with the program the additional sensory capabilities of this machine will take you away from beginner level in no time.
On-board are sound, colour and touch sensors which can be used individually or intandem to create a multitude of applications.
Make yourself a crowd pleasing line tracing machine, interact with light and let MA-VIN follow the beam and interact with sounds.
All fairly standard stuff but the next step with even the basic kit is to build up a pathfinder, maze solving machine which is a little trickier and once you’ve found the cheese try your hand at training him to be a footballer bot.
For just over a ton there’s plenty to get stuck into.
