Kids First: Andy - The Code & Play Robot

Andy is ready to program and play with right out of the box — you just need three AA batteries. You program the robot by pressing big, intuitive buttons on the top of its head — no app or tablet required! You can control Andy’s movements directly by pressing the arrow keys or pressing the Go button to enter a sequence of up to 30 movements. Andy lights up and features two movement modes, allowing it to travel different distances depending on the mode it is in. Andy can even play music and dance! 

Once you understand how Andy moves, you can play a game with the nine included robot cards. Can you guide Andy to find their 27 friends? To find each friend, you will have to program Andy’s path. Once you find a friend, check it off on the back of the manual. In the manual, you can also learn about different types of real-world robots and their functions. Then, access the two bonus games on the Thames & Kosmos website, which you can print at home. In these, Andy can find animal pals or gather food ingredients for a recipe. You can also create an obstacle course in your room and then program Andy to navigate the course. The possibilities are endless!
