Desk Pets: TankBot
This toy navigates mazes, avoids obstacles, and is fully controllable by your Apple iPhone, iPad, iPod Touch or Android phone!
Fun for kids and adults alike. It’s super easy to set up. Charge your Tankbot with the flip out USB connector. Download the free Deskpets App on your smart phone or ipad. Insert the Universal remote control into the headphone jack. HAVE FUN!
The Tankbot has 3 modes:
1. Amazing touchless navigation
2. Autonomous personality mode
3. BONUS – Smartphone Control
The 3rd mode is the one that my son used in the video below. He says that this TankBot is much easier to drive than the CarBot. The remote controller on my Android phone is simpler because it only moves one wheel instead of all 4 at once on the carbot.
Get a group of friends together for Tankbot Playoffs! Each color has a different frequency to enable mulit-player battles!
