Kinazium
Read full descriptionHide full description
The Kinazium App is a companion to the game Kinazium from Traxart Toys. The game is a construction kit for building mazes and games for robotic and remote control toys. The kit has sensors that can be place in the maze or game and be set for scoring points, or used as consecutive timers for racing against each other against the clock. Points Game: Connect the sensors to the Kinazium App and start your game. You get to choose the time duration, then touch 'start.' Navigate the robot to bump into a sensor to score a point, you have to be patient, or bump a different sensor before it will let you score again. When the timer runs out, you get your total score. Timer Game: Connect the sensors to the Kinazium App and select 'START.' The timer is counting up until you hit all the sensors, then the timer stops and you get a time score. Kinazium provides endless hands-on creative fun, kids can invent and design by themselves or in groups, encouraging teamwork. It's infinitely expandable in endless configurations. Join the fun with Kinazium at www.kinazium.com. At Traxart Toys we want everyone to "Play More on the Floor!"
