Make some noise, Hero hears everything! Build a unique sound-sensing robot from over 100 parts and learn about engineering and sound technology as you play and experiment with your six-legged robot friend. Thanks to its three directional microphones, Hero perceives and reacts to sounds, allowing you to control it by clapping your hands, snapping your fingers, playing music, or using the included castanet. Activate Hero to follow you around, respond to specific series of sounds, join you in a dance party, or even challenge you to a wild game of tug-of-war! With four different play modes, Hero provides hours of open-ended play and exploration. Hero's innovative design includes movable arms that disappear into its spherical body and a giant, illuminated eye for making facial expressions. The full-color, 52-page manual guides you through step-by-step assembly and includes a comic-book-style story about your new robot companion!
