Ask HN: Best programmable robot for kids? Christmas gift
I’m thinking about buying a programmable robot kit for my brother’s kid this Christmas. There seem to be a couple of alternatives out there, but it shouldn’t be too complex (target age = approximately 8 years old).
Which kits do you, the readers of HN recommend? If its a kid who already takes their toys apart, a kit might be good. something like this: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/19520 Otherwise i'd suggest something more towards "programmable R/C", maybe a mini drone and find a software suite that can run it through programmed courses. No idea what that world is now, personally. Thanks! Appreciate the recommendation and tip!
