Owi introduces the Owi Hyper Peppy Robotic Kit. Explore the fundamentals of robotics with this informative and entertaining robot kit. It is appropriate for ages 10 and up. This Hyper Peppy is an intelligent robot with a touch/sound sensor. If it comes in contact with an object or hears a loud noise such as hands clapping, Hyper Peppy automatically reverses, then turns left before embarking on a new course. It gives you lots of fun from the moment it arrives. Requiring only basic hand tools, the kit contains complete step-by-step instructions, pre-assembled printed circuit board, condenser microphone, and an easy-to-assemble mechanical drive system.  It's an ideal gift for the hobbyist or budding scientist.

The sensor sticking out in the front of the robot is a microphone. Hyper Peppy is very fast and a little bit bigger than a softball. It has a DC motor and three wheels. No special tools or skills like knowing how to solder are required. The Institute for Childhood Resources has selected Hyper Peppy robot kit as Dr. Toy's "Top Ten Creative Products" winner and "100 Best Children's Products" winner. Dr. Toy says, "A sure fire winner for a new adventure for a parent and child to do together."
