Agent 992 Robot
Build and take home your very own Agent992 Robot! This smart undercover robotics kit will entertain and teach infrared capabilities to inquisitive minds. It consists of 140 assembly pieces and is equipped with an infrared radar so it can capture its surrounding conditions! A classified press-button switch instructs your Agent992 Robot to transform into 3 investigative modes: Forward mode, Gesture Control mode, and Auto Navigation mode. Forward mode executes basic forward direction where its eyes turn red. Use your hand’s forward and backward motion to guide your robot when Gesture Control mode is activated, and its eyes turn blue. Compete with your classmates by designing obstacles or maze courses! Agent992 Robot’s Auto Navigation Mode will set it on its secret mission as its eyes turn purple and automatically avoids obstacles on its own. This super cool robot is educational, entertaining, and fun!
