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.

    • Conflicted
Very cool toy. Too advanced for kids. Took parent 3+ hours to complete but kids LOVE it. Have to use video to complete build. Written directions are pretty confusing but there is a QR code in the instructions that direct you to the video directions. But the kids love all the functions from it following them around the house to shooting his tongue out ... show more

    • 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

    • Favorite gift!
I gave this to my grandson as a gift and it was his favorite he got from anyone! He loves it. His Doberman does too and even though she grabbed it and shook it a bit, it held up nicely and no damage works as it should.

    • Fun, but not a great coding toy
My son was excited to get this robot and he really loves it. That being said, it was a lot of work to put together and it was more than he could do. I didn't mind putting it together for him, but it was still a lot. I'm not sure the robot is functioning like it's supposed to, but my son doesn't seem to care. It's a fun toy and seeing how the gears work together is educational, but anyone looking for a robot that can be coded and responds to input may be disappointed. ... 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.

    • Extremely challenging- couldn’t get it to work
If you want to ruin your day by all means buy this product. After several times and many hours building, taking apart, and rebuilding, it still has issues with the tongue and isn’t working properly. The pieces are very fragile and do not connect together effectively and the quality is just not there. The pieces all come attached and you have to shave down little nubs when you disconnect them; so much work just to get the pieces and it’s not like Lego where you have the pieces you need on each part. You have to search for them on the different attachments. My husband is very good at building and technical things and this was still an extremely challenging product. ... show more
