KELVIN® Tug-of-War & Tractor Lift Competition with TrackClassmates can compete directly against each other with the Kelvin Tug-of WarActivity or they can compete indirectly with the Kelvin Tractor Pull. By alteringgear ratios, vehicle weight, traction systems and wheel sizes student’s build vehicleswith the greatest pulling power. They can try to move the greatest weight or pull anothervehicle across the threshold. A fun learning experience.Includes:

Requires variable power supply for operation (see below). Can be used with a single KELVIN® Power Supply (#841386, 841051 or841052) controlling both vehicles simultaneously.

Use the Computer Interface & Software below to Convert your SUMO Wrestler™ into an Autonomous Robot!

KELVIN® Build Your Own® Autonomous RobotChoose the SUMO® kit featured in the prior page and add brain andautonomous movement based on commands you write on line (withoutcodes but using flow chart that convert in the background to commands).One activity could be to program the robotic car to move from point Ato point B while with obstacles along the way.

What you need to add is the brain which is the Genie PCB MotorBoard (see below). You will also need to get the software and thedownload cable which can be used to service many kits. Downloadyour program to the brain of your robot then disconnect the downloadcable, press the switch and the robot will follow your commands.

The sensor pack sends feedback to the robot; for example, if it hitleft sensor or right what should robot do? back up? turn around? howmuch of a turn? what after that? should it move forward? it all dependson what you programmed on the computer.

The Genie Program It™ ActivityStarter Kit includes:• Genie Program It™ Activity Board Kit

consisting of a small board (PCB) thathouses the electronics as well as aprogrammable IC, two LEDs, a switch,a light sensor and a buzzer/speaker.Assembly and soldering required.

• Battery Holder with on/off switch.

• A CD with Genie programmingsoftware and a collection of demoprograms.

• A Manual with instructions and manysimple programs.

• USB Download Cable.

• See-through Storage Pouch.

KELVIN® GENIE® Program It™ Control The Genie Program It™ Activity Starter Kit is an innovative new product intended to teach programmingto a wide range of individuals. There is no age barrier for this amazing tool. It hides all the complicatedparts of a typical programming environment and lets you program a microcontroller by visually describingthe logic using popular and well known flowchart symbols.

With the help of an amazingly easy to use and beautifully done software and a programming cable(sold separately) you can program the Genie Program It™ to blink the two LEDs on a specific sequence, orto respond to the pressing of the switch or to respond to changing light condition or to play a note or acomplete tune sequence (there are many preprogrammed tunes to select from or you can create your own).

After creating a program, using the Genie design studio, click the mouse to send it to the Genie ProgramIt™ activity board (connected to your computer with a USB cable) and it will start running immediately. Itwill continue running even if you turn the Genie Program It™ activity board off, or if you replace thebatteries, because it stores the program in internal memory.

The Genie Program It™ activity board is the simplest of the Genie family of products. Once you getfamiliar with it, you can move to other boards with more powerful features. You can control external devices(with relays) of directly connect servo motors and even stepper motors. Kit requires soldering experienceor order assembled. Requires at least one download cable, see below.

KELVIN® EDUCATIONAL ORIGINAL IDEAS FROM ROBOTICSKre8®

KELVIN® Kre8® Autonomous Car (A Self-Driving Robotic Car)Begin by having students use the internet to find articles and videos of real autonomous

vehicles. Use that as a starting point to discuss the pros and cons of self-driving cars.Students design and build an Autonomous Car using parts in the kit including [2]

mechanical sensors, a brain interface, wheels and a body. The kit can be taken apart andrebuilt by the next group of students.

Planning the car's route on the computer is easily done without having to learnprogram coding. Add conditions like what to do if an obstacle is sensed (left sensor?,right sensor? or both sensors?, go back?, how far?) or the destination is reached (makea left turn? Continue?). When finished, download the program to the car using therequired download cable (available separately; to be shared by class). Disconnect thedownload cable and turn the power switch on. The car will then move as programmedon the class floor or teacher-designed mat with additional obstacles.

Ideal for students in grades 6-9 with teacher support. Some soldering is needed toconnect the sensors, motors, etc. Requires Kre8® Tube Cutter or snips (see the Kre8®

chapter on pg. K24), USB Download cable (one per class needed) and [2] AA batteries.Sold to schools only.842400 Car Kit Only - Req.
