This kit consists of over 60 components, including beams, brackets, motor, etc. It also comes with a specially-designed software named mDraw to control these robots. mScara: mScara is a SCARA (Selective Compliance Articulated Robot Arm) driven by stepper motors. When you attach a pen to mScara, it can draw pictures on a flat surface. You can also turn mScara into a desktop laser engraver replacing the pen with a laser diode. mSpider: mSpider is a drawing robot which can draw pictures on a wall or a white board. Two stepper motors control the movement of mSpider though strings. Its drawing range can be expanded by increasing the length of the strings. mEggBot: mEggBot is designed to draw on things that are improbable to print on, such as eggs, baseballs, or ping-pong balls. It can be used to write letters, draw expressions on spheroid, or draw Easter eggs. mCar: mCar is a three-wheel robot car, which contains 2 stepper-motor-drive wheels and a ball-caster wheel. It can draw its own movement tracks on flat surface. Use chalk instead of a pen to draw on the floor.
