CYBUG ROBOTIC LIFE FORM KITS

What is a CYBUG?

The CYBUG SERIES is a new, exciting type of educational kit. It combined elements of electronics, robotics, mechanics, and biology in a unique and lovable form. It's instructional, very easy to build, and fun to customize. The instruction manual is easy to read, and describes how to solder, the function of each component, and the components function in the actual robot. These kits are intended for novice robotisists.

The operating CYBUG acts as a living organism, with behavior and instinct designed in it's circuitry.  One of the most interesting characteristics of the CYBUG is it's ability to seek out it's own food source and energize itself. Just as a honeybee is attracted to a flower for it's nectar, the CYBUG is drawn to the light , where it is provided with a meal of raw energy where the feeding station exists( which it charges it's batteries with! )

The CYBUG is just one member of a new robotic eco-system which parallels nature in a unique and fascinating manner while educating it's owners in fundamentals of electronics, robotics, biology, and control systems. It is available either in kit form or with circuit board completed.

CYBUG SOLARFLY  Kit (Solar Powered)  ( Beginners to Intermediate Kit )

The new SolarFly 2 is the direct descendant of the popular Solarfly, this greatly improved kit is an easier to build, more sensitive, more functional artificial lifeform with the ability to switch between solar mode ( chloroplast solar engine ) and battery mode ( 9V battery under circuit board ).

In battery mode, the SolarFly is a very fast and frantic light seeking photovore and is very photosensitive

You can replace the on-board 4700uF capacitor with a 1 Farad supercap for a solar powered phototropic speeder for even cooler action!

Best of all, the SolarFly 2 has a new lower price

Features:

bulletEasy to build design
bulletOver 30 parts
bulletAdheres to BEAM principles
bulletClear, educational instructions
bulletCool "dragonfly" styling
bulletTwo "switchable" modes of operation

CYBUG Flitterbug Kit  ( Beginner Kit )

The Flitterbug represents the low end of the ecosystem totem-pole:  the single-cell robot which creates energy from light to power a small motor.  Once there, try directing that energy in a swimming, rolling, walking, shaking, or spinning robotic lifeform!

Take your flitterbug to a sunny place and watch your motor come to life!  Once you’ve got your fusion powered motor going, get out the hot glue, pipe cleaners, and imagination to create all kinds of robotic phytoplankton!

The flitterbug is designed as an introductory robotic/electronic "craft kit"  This kit is perfect for those just starting out in electronics and for those who wish to experiment with different mediums to a unique form of "electronic art".

The perfect kit to get girls involved in robotics.

CYBUG Hornet Kit ( Advanced Kit )

This insectiform robot is a cool advanced kit which teaches the builders the basics of soldering surface mount components while building a very cool biologically inspired solar powered robot.

bullet

New type of solar charge pump called a "Dynamic Solar Engine".  The D.S.E. monitors ambient light level and selects a maximum and minimum charge level that best suits the available light.  This allows the robot to operate in a much wider range of lighting conditions.

bullet

Includes "Robot Head" practice kit to get you up to speed soldering surface mount components.

bullet

Uses modern surface mount components which allow the builder to become familiar with SMT soldering techniques.

bullet

Includes fine-gauge surface mount solder!

bullet

Includes two flexible solar cells!

bullet

Includes over 40 components!

bullet

Comes with excellent and educational illustrated building guide!

bullet

Dragonfly is light seeking and obstacle avoiding.

bullet

Very Active behaviour!
