Create a loyal robotic reptile companion that responds to your gestures, changes color, and automatically extends and retracts its tongue! This one-of-a-kind robotic chameleon is equipped with a color sensor, an infrared sensor, and RGB LEDs that allow you to program it in three unique play modes. In programming mode, you'll use the included colored action cards to program your pet to perform a series of movements. In wild mode, the chameleon will camouflage and blend in with the color of its surroundings, stalk potential prey, and stick out its tongue at objects that might be a delicious treat. Finally, in pet mode, your robot friend becomes friendly, walks around looking for you, and shows its excitement when you pet it.

In addition to learning how robotic components are used in real devices, you will also understand how biomimetics draws on natural and organic systems to inspire, improve, and solve engineering design challenges.
