But wait, there’s more!
For kids 5 and older, there’s the new Botley 2.0. The brand new six-direction remote programmer allows kids to control Botley’s movement as he rolls back, forth, and now diagonally as well. It also includes interactive features, like a “Botley Says” game and secret codes to program a colorful light show with Botley’s light sensor, or turn Botley into a train, ghost, police car and more. Using up to four Botley 2.0s in one room, siblings, friends or students can conduct multiplayer races and competitions, perfect for larger families and classroom activities.
