Marty the Robot

As the world went into yet another lockdown in 2021 a mysterious package arrived for my daughter!

She opened it to find a bunch of parts.

I don’t know about you, but I learned how boring the school curriculum was during the forced homeschooling.

So, I thought about shaking things up a little.

The package contained our project — to build and programme a robot.

Not just any robot a Robitical one called Marty.

My girl would be introduced to the world of STEM ( Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics).

The Making of Marty

Everything we needed was in one neat package.

Each step was clearly illustrated and the whole assembly process seemed simple…or so I thought!

Packaging from Robotical, Marty the Robot.

Half a day later we were done and Marty was doing the most amazing moon walk…

…until I discovered I had in fact put his legs on backwards!

Another hour later and Marty was fully assembled and ready to go.
