The Programmable Rover is a toy, a robot, and a tool for learning. A child programs ReCon 6.0 to navigate specified courses that can deliver a treat to a pet, surprise a family member with a personalized message, carry a soda, guard a bedroom, or just dance. The Rover teaches early programming skills, basic mathematics, and problem-solving. Includes a spiral-bound Owner’s Manual, which begins with guided projects, but builds to more advanced operating techniques to get the Rover rolling. This cleverly crafted guide concludes with room for taking notes and charting one’s own adventures. Rover-related sound bites help to expand a child’s world beyond the play experience. No computer necessary. Three C batteries required.
