The mechanical coding wheel is the heart of the Mech-5 Mechanical Coding Robot. It steers its coded courses and programmed tasks. Coding is executed effortlessly by snapping the coding buttons onto the coding wheel, directing your robot to perform its basic functions – move forward, backward, right or left, spin or pause. Thanks to this simple to follow approach, coding and performing more challenging tasks like throwing, lifting, kicking or drawing, become achievable as the user’s coding skills increase. This mission-based, entry level STEM coding robot is designed to inspire users to learn about mechanical engineering principles and coding basics. It encourages children to think while also developing their problem-solving and troubleshooting skills when faced with different tasks and difficulties..Coding- These build-it-yourself robots teach children the fundamentals of robotics and coding, while incorporating problem-solving and creativity..Green-Energy- With alternative energy playing such a pivotal role, there is no better time than now to start children on the path to learning basic concepts behind these technologies..Mechanical-Robotic Kits- In the classroom or at home, Mechanical-Robotic Kits have a big impact on STEM education..STEM
