Rookie Coding Robot kit is this years can't miss prospect. This 25-piece kit has a simple press-button programming function with no need to download codes from a personal computer or tablet via USB or Bluetooth connections, all the tech needed is onboard! Several levels of thinking skills can be challenged with the Rookie Coding Robot. Simple and basic (forward, left turn, and right turn) with each individual command powering the robot for half-second intervals. "A to B" using mathematical time measurement distance coding methodology; OR, advanced reasoning skills can be applied by designing obstacle or maze courses. With a maximum storage capacity of 360 button presses (180 seconds) or 30 tasks, the Rookie Coding Robot is the perfect kit for beginners and advanced coders alike. By virtue of problem-solving and mathematical skills, boys and girls will be able to "crack" the code and master the skill. Teach them the basics, and we have tomorrow's programmers… today.
