Weasel is a tenacious little robot warrior with two sensors that allow it to "see" a line or "feel" its way along walls and around corners.

The two motors and contact sensor activate the wall sensing micro switch to control the motors' on/off operation that determines the path of a wall. It is the classic robot design using the "Left Hand Rule" to escape mazes.

With OWI's continued pursuit in making robots "smart", they have added a sonic tracking system to this model. Underneath Weasel's sturdy plastic base, you will discover photo- transistors that enable it to detect and follow a black line. This Weasel is also a bit of a speed demon - its three-speed gearbox will help navigate at the velocity you determine.

Quick and easy to assemble, this beginner robot makes a great entrants for robotic competitions, robotic workshops, after-school programs, special events, gifts, science enrichment camps, and classroom activities. No soldering is required. Powered by 2 "AA" batteries (not included). Skill Level I.
