I’m very fond of the PicoCricket. PicoCricket is a kit that’s not robot parts per se, but more like something to help facillitate embodied interactions and tangible interfaces with lights, sound, music and movement. These interactions can get embedded into anything, like a sad cat for example. Empower the sad cat with some lights and movement when your sworn enemy appears and you’ve got a killer catbot transformation!



*NB: Dramatization only — Lego Mindstorm robots are not my sworn enemies.
