CircuitMess STEM Adventure Dusty

CircuitMess STEM Adventure Dusty

• Build an autonomous vacuum-style robot that navigates on its own 🧹

• Uses bump sensors and wheel encoders to move and react to surroundings

• Equipped with photoresistors that detect and follow light sources, mimicking the behavior of real crabs 🦀

• Demonstrates light-following behavior, teaching real-world sensor applications

• Kit includes motors, chassis, control board, sensors, USB cable, and tools

• Rechargeable via USB; no soldering required

• Suitable for individuals aged 7 and up; ideal for curious young makers

• Estimated build time: around 3 hours with guided instructions

Dusty teaches kids how smart robots respond to both light and physical obstacles. From assembling the hardware to watching Dusty scurry toward light like a crab, children experience hands-on learning in robotics, sensors, and behavioral programming—all while having a blast.
