Description

ROBOTICS FOR KIDS It’s creepy, it’s crawly and it’s built by you! Meet MeccaSpider. Designed to provide hours of interactive fun, MeccaSpider combines construction and programming skills in a hi-tech robotic spider. Meccano, which owns former construction toy brand Erector, offers the latest in robotics for kids with this unique STEM toy that draws on concepts used in the fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics to build and control the programmable robot spider. Children will enjoy the creative challenge of constructing and programming the spider alone or as a fun activity with a parent and feel proud when the creepy crawly robot comes to life using built-in buttons or the free Meccano app on a mobile device. INTERACTIVE BUILT-IN GAMES AND MODES A great way to introduce kids to the fun and innovative world of robotics, kids can interact with the creepy crawly creature in a variety of modes and games. The infrared remote control spider toy will sense movement, chase down enemies and spray venom in attack mode, actively patrol in guard mode, and move around on its own in autonomous mode, playing songs and sound effects. Featuring an IR sensor, MeccaSpider detects movement and chases after whatever it sees, so it can engage, pursue and apprehend whatever is in its path. The programmable robot also comes with built-in games for hours of entertainment. Try a round of 'Repeat After Me', a game that challenges kids to copy an array of LED patterns. Gather friends in a circle for a scary game of 'Venom Roulette' and see who moves and gets sprayed first. With its endless array of options, this innovative and interactive robot for kids is sure to become an all time favorite. Assembled dimensions: 18″L x 16″W x 7.5″H (46 x 41 x 19 cm)

    • Wow!
My son is 9 and absolutely loves building electronics, legos, or anything else with or without wires. This was a perfect step up for him in the building process! Not to mention watching it come alive and testing the legs was really fun. All of his hard work paid off when it was complete and tromping around our house. It’s a very neat toy!! Very bulky but I like that because it’s not as fragile as some of my sons other robots. We have 2 toddlers and it seems ok for them to pick it up without breaking it. ... show more

    • Better than expected
This was a Christmas gift for my 16 year old son. I was afraid he might be too old for it but he loved it. It took him about 3.5 hours to build it. It would have taken a little less time but one of the wires got stuck in the casing and it cut the wire. We were able to splice the wire and it works perfectly. I actually researched this toy on YouTube before purchasing the how to video was very helpful. ... show more

    • Love it! My husband needed to do most of ...
Love it! My husband needed to do most of the assembly for my 7 year old. It took my husband an hour or two to have it full built. It's really cool! Moves really well. Looks way more expensive than the price paid. We haven't figured out all of the "modes" on it yet, but we plan to soon!

    • Fun for 7yo and 10yo. Too slow to chase the cat (which is good). Large app download can be finicky.
My 7yo daughter an 10yo son really like this guy, especially once I finished putting it together. Assembly is not for the impatient and the instructions could be a lot clearer, but it's not a big challenge. Take your time, read carefully, and don't be surprised if you have to go back to rebuild a couple of parts three or four steps later. We've played the don't-get-squirted game a few times and the kids have driven him around the apartment but since then he's largely sat on a table. They've been away for a few weeks and they've both said they're looking forward to playing with him again when they get back. Maybe they just want to try to terrorize the cat. (She's too smart for them and runs as soon as she hears the spider turn on.) The first time we tried to run the app we had a slow internet connection and it kept timing out before it could download what it needed for the spider. Going back to civilization fixed that, but Meccano should make the application more resilient and not require it to download everything or nothing, forcing it to start from scratch every time. You'll want to recheck the screws pretty often as they tend to work themselves loose when he's walking. ... show more

    • Great for a Girl Scout STEM Robotics Badge project
We purchased this to earn the Robotics badge for our Girl Scout troop. The girls in our troop are 16, and this kit was wonderful teaching them how robotics work as well as programming. The only problem with the programming was that we had difficulty after downloading the app, but due to time constraints we didn't try very hard, so not sure if it actually works or not. ... show more

    • I'm pretty sure I could build a lunar module now
I built this in about 4-5 hours over the course of a few days. I'm pretty sure I could build a lunar module now. My 7 yr old loves it! It took some time to figure out how to make it move correctly with the smartphone app. Still, he is thrilled with what he earned with his own money and that mom put it together with him. ... show more

    • So awesome. My 8year old son received this for Christmas
So awesome. My 8year old son received this for Christmas. We were able to complete it the next day. He loves the attack mode and setting his spider to protect his room. Some of the little nuts do like to come loose, but they are easily put back on. BUY it, so cool!
