Kid Simple, Kid Safe Robotic Tools & Toys The RoboTargetBot You've seen the demo videos online ... see it at the 2008 RoboGames in San Francisco this week as SALES begin for the RoboTargetBot and get started building your own Laser RoboTarget Gaming System ... PreProgrammed Port 1 PreProgrammed Port 2 PreProgrammed Port 3 Anoter view of all three target setups - NO ADULT SUPERVISION NEEDED OR REQUIRED - - and Kids Play is in a Home SAFE Environment with Home Safe Robotics - The RoboTargetBot Kit is two primary items ... first the main box that houses the control system and a smaller mounting plate you hang onto a cardboard gaming arena wall ... This is what you get for just a few $'s - The basic kit - eMail me wperko@brainless.org for availablility first ... then order yours by sending your PayPal payment to wperko@brainless.org but Kids can build their gaming arena using cardboard boxes and foot tall cardboard strips ... starting with a simple arcade shooting gallery style either paint or print out and tape/paste on the theme they want, then challange their friends to shoot at the targets with eye-safe laser pens. As time progresses and you and the kids want a more complex gaming system, it's just building more cardboard walls and adding more of the remote controlled and autonomous robots to eventually build up a fully functional First Person Shooter gaming system that everybody joins in the fun! There's no limit to the gaming arena development since there's no limit to the imaginations of any kid any age. They just find or draw-up the artwork for the theme they want and build a gaming arena, then have a ball playing with their friends. Online gamers range from about 4-years old to over 100-years old … Gamers are probably the single largest online presence today and spend more money per year on computer gaming than this robot and gaming system costs.

If these setting don't work for you tell me what you want ... I can program it and make a basic demo for test & display. There are three positions to the RoboTargetBot display modes ... Left, Right and Center. You choose the combination you want for the primary setup by selecting the appropriate INPUT & OUTPUT connections on top of the RoboTargetBot. Then you decide on the "theme" of the target/your gaming arena and either paint or print the theme onto the gaming arena cardboard strips that are 12" or 30cm tall. Next make a cut-out at the level you want your target to appear on the gaming arena wall. When the gaming arena walls are done you mount the RoboTargetBot onto a cardboard box or half a box using any of the empty holes available to screw or rivit the plastic WallMountedTargetBot in or bolt into place on cardboard box ... then add the target and background images as needed remembering to cut a little hole for the target sensor to peek through, place the target box behind the gaming arena wall and voila ... plug it in and start shoot'in! Once you'v built one, you'll want to build several to make a more complex gaming arenas that challenges your eye/hand coordination and aiming skills ... Building more targets is as simple as adding more standard hobby sensors, servos, lights and sound module connections back to the available RoboTargetBot using hobby extension cords to spread the targets further apart to increase the challange ... and you can add more and more RoboTargetBots to the gaming arena until the room is so full of targets it may take hours to shoot them all ...
