This is a fun-to-build, educational and entertaining kit where you create an expandable, evolvable, and exciting member of your CYBUG robotic ecosystem! Experience robotic emergent behavior as your Queen Ant drone explores it's robotic environment. Build up an entire colony of robotic ants which interact, explore, and battle with other members of the CYBUG family of robotic lifeform!  The CYBUG Queen Ant is designed with open architecture and is easily expanded to be fully solar powered ( with our optional Queen Ant Solar Wings add-on kit $20) or programmable by adding an optional BASIC STAMP programmable micro-processor (Plugs right in!).

This SOLAR POWERED CYBUG is easy to build and educational! Very active in direct sunlight, its sensitive Infra-red eyes continually cause this CYBUG to move toward the brightest object it sees and it's feelers help it navigate it's way around obstacles. It even has short-term memory about objects it comes in contact with!  It's long vertical antennae can draw energy from other sources such as the SUNFLOWER POWER PLANT or home-made feeding stations described in the kit.  Requires basic hand tools, soldering iron, and 2 hours to complete.

Cybug Scarab

The CYBUG KIT is designed to behave and appear insect-like, and has full obstacle avoidance and reversing motors. The robo-organism is nocturnal ( most active at night ) and can be configured to be photo-tropic ( light seeking ) or photo-phobic ( light avoiding ). A quick adjustment of the potentiometer causes the CYBUG to behave aggressively as a predator, or timid and slow moving like a herbivore. No two CYBUG are exactly the same and you will come to recognize the unique characteristics of each! The CYBUG's behavior can be enhances by adding on the Higher Brain Function daughter-boards: The HUNGER ( HBF-1 ) and PREDATOR (HBF-2). Instruction manual discusses operation of CYBUG and all components used at a novice level.( Kit requires soldering iron and basic hand tools. 3 hours estimated completion time.)

Cybug Sun Flower Power Plant (Special Deal)

This unique kit is both ornamental and instrumental! The SUNFLOWER will continually rotate, looking for the brightest light source it can find, much like a flower rotates to face the sun. Forever twisting and twitching, the CYBUG SUNFLOWER gathers the maximum solar energy which may be sent to a feeding station for nourishing SOLARFLYS and SCARAB CYBUG's. They also make a very cool desk accessory for the executive who has everything! Requires basic hand tools, soldering iron, and 2 hours to complete
