CircuitMess Dusty

CircuitMess Dusty

• Grades: 2+
• Number of Students: 1-2
• Build Time: 1 hour

Highlights:

Build a robot that reacts to light

Dusty is a robot from the seaside that helps you discover the magic of light-sensitive movement.

Learn about photoresistors & transistors

Go beyond the build – understand the electronics. Dusty teaches you how photoresistors, transistors, and other components work together.

Take Dusty for a walk

Watch your robot crab chase a beam of light in light-following mode and discover how it reacts to its surroundings.

Unlock a new game on Bit

The fun continues on your Bit console! Assembling Dusty unlocks an exclusive game for your CircuitMess Bit (sold separately).

Code your CircuitMess devices with ease

CircuitBlocks puts the power of coding in your hands. This visual, block-based programming environment is designed for beginners but powerful enough for experienced coders. Generate Arduino-compatible code and unlock the full potential of your CircuitMess devices.

Curriculum or Lesson Topics:

You'll learn how light-sensitive robots work. Building Dusty teaches you about photoresistors (which detect light) and transistors (which control the flow of electricity). You'll see these principles in action as you assemble your own light-following crab robot.
