Tinkerbots

Tinkerbots Kinematics GmbH (DE)

Tinkerbots is a unique construction kit that makes it simple for kids of all ages to build and operate countless different robots. The kit consists of active modules and passive components.

The Powerbrain is the central control element, the heart and mind of this construction kit. Movement modules make it possible to implement various forms of locomotion—driving, tipping, spinning or gripping. The movement modules are driven by servomotors; the energy is delivered by the Powerbrain’s battery. Sensor modules react to light sources and objects in the installation space. Tiny passive components called Cubies let you custom-design your robot.

All elements are easily interconnected without the use of cables, so kids as young as six can build mobile, interactive robots and get a playful introduction to mechanics, sensors and energy.
