UBTECH Unleashes Two New JIMU STEM Robot Kits

UBTECH Robotics introduced a pair of new robots for its JIMU line of STEM-based kits.

Beginning today, kids can harness the legendary magic of dragons with the JIMU Robot Mythical Series: FireBot Kit. Kids can build; customize; and code their dragon to growl, spin, flap its wings, and blast its fiery red or icy blue LED flame.

With the JIMU Robot Competitive Series: ChampBot Kit, kids can face off with each other in robotic competitions. First, kids can build the kit into one of three robot designs — ChampBot, BasketBot, or ScoreBot — and then they’ll put their coding skills to work as they program their robot to navigate obstacles or shoot baskets.

Both new UBTECH robot kits are available at Target, Amazon, or the UBTECH store online.
