About
AstroBot Kit is an interactive building block robotics kit that empowers children/teenagers to create and program their own robots. Along the way, they engage in powerful hands-on learning in STEM and gain 21st-century skills and mindsets.
The UBTECH Jimu Robot AstroBot Kit gives you everything you need to build three different robots-AstroBot, Rover, and Astron-or to invent your own robot design using the app on your phone or tablet. The bots travel on treads or walk on "feet", and each has an infrared sensor that allows it to detect and pick up objects. There are also LED flashing lights for expressing emotions, and a speaker that lets you play music or program sound effects for each robot.
The free Jimu app offers step-by-step 3D, 360-degree animated building instructions. It also lets you easily use Blockly coding to build and then program AstroBot to do almost anything.

Kids these days always seem to have the best toys
When we were growing up, our make-the-other-kids-jealous toy was a PS1. The clunky version.
Which in turn was cutting edge compared to the previous generation. They had to make do with technology-less entertainment.
And the generation before them and before them and before them until the dawn of time when kids were playing with woolly mammoth tusks and sabretooth teeth.
Just an interesting observation on how you only really appreciate toys when you're no longer interested.
