Meet Meccano’s Micronoid Code Zapp – a 9.6” x 8” x 5.7” robot with a personality! Curious minds new to the world of robotics will be able to assemble Zapp in less than an hour. Once built, Zapp syncs to your computer and is easily programmable. As an interactive robot, you can talk to Zapp and see it respond! Zapp even has hobbies! Switch to DJ mode and listen to some great tunes, or arrange a jam session and unite Zapp with the other Micronoid robots, like Magna and A.C.E. As part of the Meccano (formerly Erector) S.T.E.M line of toys, Zapp is both fun and intellectually stimulating. Ready to take on a challenge? Try building Meccano’s Micronoid Code Zapp!

Bring Home Big-Time Fun with Meccano Micronoids!

Introducing Meccano Micronoids - the little robots with larger than life personality! Both entertaining and challenging, this STEM toy encourages development of skills in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. The first step is to build the robot, but it doesn't end there, these interactive robot toys are packed with features that everyone can enjoy! Once constructed, kids can program the Micronoid and interact with its unique personality thanks to a series of built-in, customizable modes and games.

Program with the Push of a Button or Through Your Computer!

The Micronoids feature simple, push-button coding: use the arrow buttons to build your own custom walking and turning sequence, or use the USB cable to connect to your computer and see what you can do. They can be programmed to move forward, turn right, and turn left. You can even record your voice, and the Micronoid will repeat it back in its robot voice.

Ready to Move and Groove!

Micronoids love to dance! Play music close to your robotic friends and watch them bust a move whenever they hear a beat—they even have beat detection so their eyes light up and blink while they dance. If you leave them in this mode too long, they might just start dancing to their own tune. These boisterous mini-bots also love to make music. In DJ mode, create unique music with Micronoid’s buttons, and then turn its head to add sound effects.

Play Games

These robots also draw children in for some language learning play as kids ask 'yes' or 'no' 8 Ball style questions to engage in pretend play, and sharpen listening skills. What a fun combination of tactile build and play, engineering and language learning to strengthen Steam skills.

Collect Them All!

Bring home all of the Micronoids! Build unique, quirky robots for kids and watch how they really interact with each other. These best friends love to race through obstacles and even coordinate their dance moves together when they are in close proximity! If you have more than one, they communicate with each other with giggling, babbling, sneezing and singing (they might even tell each other jokes!)

What’s in the Box/Battery Requirements:

Meccano Micronoids are a great gift idea for kids ages 8 an up, and will certainly get the gears in their heads turning as they experiment with their first coding toy. They not only teach budding engineers and builders the basics of engineering and Stem, but it also support developmental skills such as following of instructions, sequencing, spatial awareness, fine motor skills, and hand-eye coordination.
