Powered by 4 AAA batteries (not included), Tobbie uses IR sensors and an AI guidance system to navigate obstacles in two modes: 'Follow Me' and 'Explore the World.' Recommended for ages 8+, it offers a hands-on 2.5-hour build experience that blends robotics, AI, and engineering education into a compact 16x13x12 cm robot. ## Description rtip_product_description1value-en_GB Tobbie the Smart Robot is a six-legged build-it-yourself kit that turns STEM learning into hands-on discovery. Supplied with plastic body parts, gears, a motor and an electronic board, Tobbie is assembled step by step and comes to life with LED "eyes" and sound effects. Once built, two modes demonstrate how sensors guide motion and decisions, giving children an approachable start in basic robotics.In Follow-me mode, Tobbie detects a hand or object ahead and tracks it, slowing or stopping as the leader changes pace. In Explore mode, infrared obstacle avoidance makes the robot choose a new path whenever it senses something in its way. Light and sound cues make status easy to read during play and experiments, so young users can see how inputs affect behaviour.Operation is straightforward: one push button switches modes and a low-battery alert indicates when to replace cells. Power comes from 4Γ— AAA batteries (not included). Use indoors away from strong sunlight or halogen lamps, which can affect infrared sensing. On smooth surfaces the compact six-leg mechanism produces stable, consistent motion.Assembly builds observation, sequencing and fine-motor skills: identify parts, align gears and linkages, and confirm motion before installing batteries. Adult supervision is advised, as the kit contains small functional parts. Once completed, Tobbie combines steady walking with friendly light-and-sound feedback to support repeated play and learning.Key features: two modes (Follow-me, Explore with IR obstacle avoidance); LED eyes with sounds; one-button control; low-battery alert; powered by 4Γ— AAA batteries (not included). What’s in the box: plastic body panels, electronic board with sensors, motor and gearbox parts, battery holder, screws and fasteners, stickers, and a step-by-step instruction manual. ## Features - 114 Piece DIY Self Guiding Robot Injection Moulded STEM Construction Project & Experimentation Kit - Made from Durable ABS and PP Plastic with Metal Screws and Springs that Clip and Screws Together - Battery Powered AI Guidance System that Uses Input from IR Sensors to Guide Tobbie Round Obstacles - Tobbie Can be Set to Sensor Seeking "Follow Me" Mode or to Object Avoiding "Explore the World" Mode - Tobbie Measures Around 16 cm by 13 cm by 12 cm when Fully Constructed | Recommended for Ages 10+ - Requires 4 x AAA Batteries (Not Included) | Takes Around 2.5 Hours to Create | Requires Some Basic Tools ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07CZG6NC3 | | Age Range Description | Baby | | Battery Description | Alkaline | | Best Sellers Rank | #9,271 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #30 in Toy Robots | | Brand Name | CONSTRUCT & CREATE | | Customer Reviews | 4.1 4.1 out of 5 stars (1,236) | | Educational Objective | Encourage STEM education and skills | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060512150513 | | Included Components | 71511 | | Is Assembly Required | Yes | | Item Dimensions | 16 x 13 x 12 centimeters | | Item Type Name | 5060512150513 | | Item Weight | 335 Grams | | Manufacturer | The Source Wholesale Ltd | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 96.0 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96.0 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 71511 | | Material Type | Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) Polypropylene Steel | | Model Number | 71511 | | Set Name | Tobbie The Robot | | Size | One Size | | Theme | Robot | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Baby - **Brand:** CONSTRUCT & CREATE - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 16 x 13 x 12 centimeters - **Size:** One Size - **Theme:** Robot ## Images ![CONSTRUCT & CREATE Tobbie the Self-Guiding AI Robot Build Your Own DIY STEM Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71HX-YoUGRL.jpg) ## Frequently Bought Together - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Tobbie the Self-Guiding AI Robot Build Your Own DIY STEM Kit - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Hydraulic Cyborg Hand DIY STEM Build Your Own Project Kit Set - CONSTRUCT & CREATE Hydraulic Robot Arm DIY STEM Build Your Own Project Kit Set --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/420962714-construct-and-create-tobbie-the-self-guiding-ai-robot-build](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/420962714-construct-and-create-tobbie-the-self-guiding-ai-robot-build) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
