Description
Construct six different remote-controlled models; all enhanced by the OWIKIT® SmartCore (the “digital brain") which pairs with the remote control, powers, and helps balance, stabilize, and control each model. Use the 44 included snap-together pieces to build a Gyrorobot, Trike, Turboprop, Drone, Tank, or Hovercraft. The SmartCore holds a quick-charging LiPo battery, and the kit includes a USB charging cable. The battery use time is 6 minutes, with a 30-60 recharging time; remote control works up to a distance of 30 meters. Build a model, try it out, and then tear it apart to build something else while the battery recharges! Requires 2 AAA batteries, not included. ~ Megan
Publisher's Description of SmartCore 6 Kit
Take control of land and sky with SmartCore 6. This kit features 6 separate models: three land vehicles (Tank, Gyrobot, Trike), and three sky vehicles (Turboprop, Drone, Hovercraft). With forty-six easy to snap together parts, tomorrows innovators will learn the STEAM principals associated with physics, aerodynamics, and electronics when they build and remix SmartCore 6.
The magic of SmartCore 6 lies within OWI SmartCore technology. When connected to one of the six vehicles, OWI SmartCore acts as a digital brain using a patented algorithm that evaluates the best way to control each vehicle. With gyros and sensors built in, the OWI SmartCore will help stabilize the propellers on the Turboprop, Drone and Hovercraft to keep the airborne models flight. With the land vehicles, the OWI SmartCore keeps Gyrobot vertical with active balancing technology, allows Trike to cruise at high speeds while maintaining control, and turns Tank into a roving explorer. Best of all, the OWI SmartCore automatically pairs with the remote control, so operation is impeccable. With a built-in quick charging LiPo battery and USB charging cable included included, recharging SmartCore 6 is effortless.
