Description

Build a loyal robotic reptile buddy that responds to your gestures, changes colors, and automatically fires and retracts its tongue! This first-of-its- kind robotic chameleon is equipped with a color sensor, infrared sensor, and RGB LEDs that allow you to code and program it in three unique play modes. In Coding Mode, you’ll use the included colorful action cards to program your pet to carry out a series of movements. In Wild Mode, the chameleon will camouflage and turn into the color of its surroundings, stalk possible prey, and shoot its tongue out at objects that might be a yummy treat! Finally, in Pet Mode, your robot pal gets friendly, walking around searching for you and showing its excitement when you pet it. In addition to learning how the robotic components are utilized in real-life devices, you’ll also gain insight into how biomimicry looks to natural and organic systems to inspire, improve, and solve engineering design challenges.

    • Great toy
My son loved this! He enjoyed putting it together and playing with it. Extremely time consuming to assemble but he had fun.

    • Fun build for my 8 yr old
Such a fun build for my 8 year old! He’s my little builder and is into little things. This build took him about 4 hours give or take. He did it with very little adult help. Wasn’t fully functional at the end. There are so many tiny parts and you have to be very meticulous to pull the build off but he had fun! ... show more

    • Parent/Child Project
This kit is an exciting one to put together. It is educational, interactive, and a great gift for mechanically minded kids. Keep in mind, an adult may need to be available for help with instructions if under 12.

    • Very cheap and difficult to assemble
I wasn’t expecting such a difficult assembly. I feel the product description leaves out this detail. When my granddaughter opened this and I saw the hundreds of cheap plastic pieces my heart sank. She lives abroad and I only had one afternoon to spend on this with her. Fortunately my son was able to help. It took 3-1/2 hours with the two of us working together (both degreed engineers) to build “Carl”. The parts are cheap with terrible tolerances. The assembly is rickety at best. The assembly process is difficult for adults so not sure how a 12 year old would manage it without help. After three times testing the ejecting tongue, a tiny blue piece came out from the bowels of the assembly, rendering the tongue inoperable. Carl would not walk on carpet at all and only barely walk on wood floor while tipping over easily. I don’t expect this to last very long. My son will have to tear it almost completely apart to get the piece back in that came out. I was also expecting actual basic software coding to control the chameleon but admittedly I didn’t read the product description fully. I was very disappointed in this product. It’s just as cheap as the price would suggest. I should have known better. ... show more

    • Follow instructions carefully!!
This chameleon kit required a lot of patience and problem solving. Took my 11 year old about 3-4 hrs to put together. I had to help him about a dozen times through the build. After when we turned it on first time, it couldn’t move and the gears were stuck. Took me about 4-5 more attempts disassembling, reassembling, and problem solving to finally to get it to work properly. In the end, all our problems were caused by not following directions super carefully. If your assembled parts didn’t look like diagrams in the instruction booklet, make sure you double and triple check your work, or else it won’t work properly. Don’t confuse metal rod P9 with P12–they are not interchangeable parts. Make sure you cut off the burrs!!! As an adult, I enjoyed this kit because it takes patience and problem solving. Don’t expect it to work after your first assembly. Big THANK YOU to the toy maker for good customer service. They were happy to supply additional parts we needed or broke. Just had to fill out online part request form. ... show more

    • Cool way to play and learn
This was a Christmas gift for my sons he loves it. The plastic is not a strong plastic. One of the legs broke during assembly. We’ve been VERY careful cutting out each piece. He’s excited to get the part replaced so we can enjoy all the fun things Carl can do.

    • perfect for my 10-year old
This was a last minute gift for my grandson that loves anything STEM related and this toy was perfect for him. He is 10 and it was the perfect amount of challenge and fun.

    • Not worth the time
This is a two person build no matter the age of the builder. The pieces don't fit together exactly flush. I would not recommend for a younger kid unless you're and adult with 4-5 hours to spend on building the toy. In play mode it is very loud and not quality. You have to reset the tongue manually at times. ... show more
