Other cool options include the Teach Tech KC3 Keypad Coding Robot for $26, saving you $11 off the list price. It allows kids aged eight or older to build their own robot coding toy. The kit includes 175 parts in all including a PC board, a motor with connectors, pinion gear, a battery holder and much more. Note, however, that you will need to snag four AA batteries as well.
