Four robots for kids of all ages
BY DAN NESSEL
Are you ready to bring iron
man to life?
Have grandkids who love
Iron Man and robots?
If so, do we have the
toy for you! The Iron
Man MK50 Robot by
UBTECH allows the
grandkids to basically
become Iron Man. By
putting their face
and voice on the
Iron Man robot
they then take
part in an augmented reality
gaming experience and battle
through a series
of missions. Even
when not playing the
missions, the kids will
have a blast controlling
the fully mobile Iron
Man MK50 as he scouts
out the house.

Who says coding
can't be artistic?
Preschoolers have a
new robot friend
Think three years old is too young
to play with a robot? Then you
haven't seen the Code 'n Learn
Kinderbot from Fisher Price. This
interactive learning robot comes
to life with lights and phrases and
helps teach preschoolers about
early math concepts, colors, shapes,
and more. Big, clear buttons on the robot's head make
it easy for kids to control Kinderbot and learn valuable
engineering and problem solving skills.
Code 'n Learn Kinderbot | $59
Full review & demo of Code 'n Learn Kinderbot
When you think about coding
a robot, you probably think about
movement, sounds and flashing lights.
With Artie 3000 all of your coding
becomes...drawings! The grandkids
create the code and then Artie 3000
draws their creations on any standard
piece of paper. Artie 3000 introduces
the basics of coding in a creative and
imaginative way. If you are looking for
a fun and unintimidating way to introduce coding to the grandkids, Artie
3000 is a great choice.

Even a ball
can be
a robot now
Sphero BOLT | $129
It's 2020 and time to rethink our concept of
what a robot looks like. The Sphero BOLT at
first glance looks like a basic ball with some
colorful lights. Don't let the simple looks fool
you, the BOLT is a sophisticated robot with
an eye-catching, programmable 8x8 light
matrix and advanced sensors to track
speed, acceleration, and direction. Fully
equipped with infrared communications (to talk with other BOLTs) and
Bluetooth SMART, this robotic ball
will have the grandkids learning fairly
advanced coding skills.
