Capacitor Set - Extension for Varikabi
The Capacitor Set is a great extension for your varikabi robot kit, enabling the robot to have a form of short-term memory. By combining capacitors and resistors, your varikabi robot can "remember" what it has seen and react with a delay. This enhances the behavior of your robot, making it more versatile. Additionally, you can replace the standard bi-colored LEDs with bipolar red/blue LEDs, which illuminate in both directions and do not require reversing the polarity.
Key Features:
- Memory Enhancement: Capacitors allow the robot to react with a delay, mimicking short-term memory.
- Behavior Variety: The capacitor set introduces fun behaviors like erratic movements, slower reactions, or a robot that behaves like it's drunk.
- Interactive Learning: The set includes circuits that teach basic electronics concepts like low-pass filters, high-pass filters, and astable flip-flops.
Behavior Modes:
- "Always Calm" Mode: The robot takes time to stop and start moving again, thanks to the built-in capacitor.
- "Drunken Robot" Mode: The robot moves in zigzag patterns due to delayed reactions.
- "Startled and Friendly" Mode: The robot alternates between brake and acceleration modes with LEDs flashing blue or red.
- "Wobbly Dachshund" Mode: The robot switches the left and right motors on and off alternately.
Specifications:
- Contents: 9 parts in total
- Recommended Age: 10 years and older
- Assembly Time: Approximately 10 minutes per circuit
- Required Tools: varikabi robot kit (not included)
