Binary Player
At last an affordable programmable robot kit from OWI. Binary Player is a winner all around! Once assembled, use the included black and white coded disks to program how your Binary Player will navigate! Set up an obstacle course and design a program to maneuver through it! I like this robot a lot, as it is a great balance of complexity and fun.
Binary Player Robot is controlled by black and white patterns on a disk, which are read by an infrared sensor. Particular patterns activate either of two wheels to turn left, right, forward, or pause. These on/off commands illustrate the basic principles of binary coding. To change a movement program, the operator simply creates a new disk pattern. Set your course and explore the fascinating world of Binary Player Robot!"
