BLONWINER Robot Car Kit, 2 in 1 Smart Robotics Arm Building Toy for Raspberry Pi Python Coding, STEM Programming Tank Kits with Camera (Without RPi Board)

From: BLONWINER

Pete's Expert Summary

So, my human, in their infinite and often misguided wisdom, has presented me with... a box of parts. Apparently, this 'BLONWINER' contraption is a 'robot' that *they* have to build using some sort of computational fruit pastry. It's a tank, supposedly, with a grabby claw and an unblinking camera eye that promises to track my every move. The potential for this thing to deliver treats directly to my napping spot is... noted. However, the far greater likelihood is that it will end up as a half-assembled monument to my human's fleeting attention span, gathering dust and my fur in a corner. The shiny lights are a mild point of interest, but I refuse to get my hopes up until I see a functional prototype, not just a pile of plastic and wires.

Key Features

You can control it by clicking the screen buttons. You can modify the code to change the interface and add functions to improve programming learning ability.
  • NOTE: Raspberry Pi board is NOT included! !The remote control requires two 1.5Volt AA Batteries you need to buy them by yourself.( The kits NOT included two 1.5Volt AA Batteries !!) If parts are missing or any technical problom. Please contact us, we will reply you within 24 hours.Thank you.

A Tale from Pete the Cat

The thing had been an ongoing project for weeks, a source of quiet muttering and the occasional clatter of a dropped screw from the human's office. I had dismissed it as another one of their loud, boring hobbies. Then, one evening, it rolled out under its own power. It was squat and serious, its tank treads making a soft, grinding purr against the hardwood floor. I was observing it from my post atop the armchair, a gray shadow judging the new arrival. It was an interloper, an absurdity of black plastic and exposed wiring, with a single, unblinking lens for an eye. This, I decided, was not a toy. It was an audit. It moved with an unnerving purpose, its little camera head swiveling to follow me as I shifted my weight. The human was sitting on the floor, staring at a glowing rectangle and giggling. A puppet master. The robot paused, its multi-colored lights pulsing rhythmically beneath its chassis like some strange, mechanical heartbeat. I narrowed my eyes. It was performing an obstacle avoidance routine, perfectly navigating around the leg of the coffee table. Amateurs crash. This thing was a professional. It knew the angles of my domain. Then came the true test. The human manipulated their glowing rectangle, and the robotic arm, a two-fingered claw, whirred to life. It was clumsy at first, a newborn fawn of steel and servos. But it learned. It reached down, the little pincer closing around a silver crinkle ball I had abandoned hours ago. My crinkle ball. The audacity. The machine trundled closer, the arm extending, offering my property back to me. This was a gesture I could not ignore. It wasn't a threat; it was a negotiation. I descended from the armchair with the fluid grace they have yet to replicate. I didn't pounce. I didn't hiss. I approached the machine, sniffed the metal claw, and gently took the crinkle ball in my mouth. I then dropped it, nudged it back toward the robot with my nose, and sat, flicking the white tip of my tail once. The message was clear. *Again*. The human cheered. The robot, my new and infinitely interesting butler, obliged, its arm lowering to retrieve the toy. It was not a worthy opponent, nor a simple plaything. It was, however, a moderately acceptable delivery service, and for that, it was permitted to continue occupying my space. For now.
