My Robotic Pet - Tumbling Hedgehog STEM Experiment Kit

Introducing the adorable robotic pet Hedgehog - build your own with this kit! It comes with 172 building pieces to create a real robot that resembles a cute Hedgehog. Equipped with a built-in sound sensor, this robot is designed to respond to various sounds. Once assembled, you can interact with it by producing different sounds and observing its movements - tumbling, rolling, spinning around, bristling its spines, and scurrying about.

With a single clap, the Hedgehog will roll into a ball and tumble backwards. Clap multiple times, and it will tally your claps and tumble accordingly. You can also prompt the Hedgehog to bristle its spines and engage in playful behavior with different clap patterns. LED lights illuminate its eyes, adding to its charm.

Building this robot will provide insights into its internal mechanical mechanisms, such as gears, motors, sound sensors, and LEDs, all of which enable its movements. The approximate build time is 1 to 2 hours, and the difficulty level is challenging. An excellent opportunity for S.T.E.M. learning is presented through this project.

To construct your own cute robotic pet Hedgehog, use the 172 building pieces. The robot's built-in sound sensor allows it to respond to various clap patterns. Once activated, the Hedgehog will tumble, roll, spin, bristle its spines, and scurry around in response to your claps. A single clap makes it roll into a ball and tumble backwards, and multiple claps prompt it to tumble repeatedly.

As you build your Hedgehog, you'll gain insights into the internal mechanics that control its movements, including gears, motors, sound sensors, and LEDs. The Hedgehog's motor is battery-operated, requiring four AAA batteries (not included).
