OWI 9742 Comet
 
|
Its snail-like design may give a lethargic impression, but contrary to first impression, Comet is quick to respond and scurries speedily on command. A condenser microphone and a printed circuit board control this OWIKIT. Each time its sound sensor hears your command, it reacts; clap your hands or make any other loud sound to control it.

Comet can react to your sounds either by following a sequence of commands (forward, stop, clockwise spin, and stop), or by randomly choosing its next action. Drop a pen in Comet’s pen holder and make it draw!
