Binary Player Robot is controlled by black and white patterns on a disk, which are read by an infrared sensor. Particular patterns activate either of two wheels to turn left, right, forward, or pause. These on/off commands illustrate the basic principles of binary coding. To change a movement program, the operator simply creates a new disk pattern and/or changes the speed variation on the 3-speed gearbox. Parents love this item because their children can learn the fundamentals of binary system coding; determine the working specification of the robot; gain experience with a reprogrammable robot; solve programming problems. In fact, the programs are nothing more than a series of steps to produce a solution to a problem. Systematic and critical thinking skills are utilized.

It features a pre-assembled printed circuit board, hardware, and mechanical drive system that can be handled by almost anyone from age 10 and up. Only basic hand tools are required for assembly. An infrared sensor and printed circuit board controls your programmable friend. Binary Player Robot is more than just fun.
