We love all of our products but every once and a while a tech savvy customer will come along with a 3rd party modification that is just too cool to not tell you about. Kevin Nichols has modified our OWI-536 All Terrain Robot to move on its own while automatically sensing and reacting to its surroundings. Check out the video below.  Kevin gives a how to below: This is the code for the yellow robot that I made with an arduino and motor shield. It is not the best code in the world, nor is it finished. I put explanations off to the side. They will not affect the way your robot works. They always have // before them so the arduino knows to ignore them.  Also note, this code is setup to work with the EZ-1 sonor sensor that we have for sale. It is a great sensor and it is very accurate, however it has a few problems. When the robot is aimed at a hard surface and is at more than a 45 degree angle to it, the sound will just bounce off and the sensor will not see the echo. I plan to change the

OWI is proud to be named a finalist for Space.com's 2012 Space Age Award.We were presented with this award nomination on behalf of our new Salt Water Fuel Cell Giant Arachnoid kit , at the annual 2012 New York Toy Fair back in February of this year. This is the first year that this award program has been established and was so well received that they will continue next year and into the foreseeable future. Space.com is a well recognized brand that is enjoyed by millions of people. OWI is very proud to be selected for this honor.

The field of robotics is growing leaps and bounds. Given advances in artificial intelligence, robots are no longer restricted to heavy steel arms, soldering cards, and silicon chips. They are becoming more sophisticated, able to respond, and even able to communicate in any world language. Types of Robots Personal robotics trends today is on the areas of improving the robot�s ability to carry out social interactions and to sense and move in the real world. While it has proven really difficult to create robots that can move smoothly and that can learn and adapt to unexpected situations in the way humans can, researchers are making progress and many experts believe that robotics research will eventually attain these goals. Recently, Intel set up two working personal robot prototypes. One demonstrated electric field pre-touch built into a robot hand to give the robot the ability to sense, or in essence �to feel�, objects before it touches them. The other demonstration featured a robot that
