fischertechnik launches new products offensive

fischertechnik - January 2021

Fischertechnik is starting 2021 with lots of new product power. The toy manufacturer "Made in Germany" is offering far more new products than in previous years. In doing so, fischertechnik takes up forward-looking topics such as regenerative energies and robotics. The new programming language ROBO PRO Coding contains a wide range of functions for controlling the Robotics models. The compact TXT 4.0 controller offers significantly more memory capacity than its predecessor. Impressive vehicles with omniwheels enable fascinating driving maneuvers in all directions. A lot of creativity is called for in the chain reactions, which are equipped with imaginative refinements such as a ropeway or a catapult.

Solar module, energy storage and wind power: The Green Energy construction kit creates an eco house that combines several regenerative energy sources. The Solar Power kit contains components for a helicopter, an airplane, a windmill and a carousel. The individual models can be moved by solar power using the solar cell included. The vehicle from the H2 Fuel Cell Car kit drives off when the fuel cell is charged and electrolysis is complete.

Sophisticated programming tasks can be accomplished with the two construction kits Robotics Hightech and Robotics Smarttech. Robot and vehicle models equipped with Omniwheels illustrate how autonomous driving and modern mobile robot technology work. The models are controlled with the newly developed programming language ROBO Pro Coding. This supports both graphical and text-based programming and enables a selection of different learning levels.

The Early Coding construction kit has been designed for children from the age of five, with which simple robot models can be built and programmed. The child-friendly graphical programming interface ensures a quick sense of achievement.

The principle of pneumatic drives becomes clear with the Strong Pneumatics construction kit using six models. For example, an impressive tractor model can be built with a tree trunk grapple that is moved by means of pneumatic drive power.

The Retro Mechanics building set illustrates the topics of mechanics and statics with no fewer than 30 models that can be constructed using the 500 components contained in the box. The construction set impresses with its retro design and classic packaging with hinged lid.

The Funny Reactions building set is imaginative, creative and fast-paced. With 660 components, fun and creative chain reactions are created. A ropeway, a catapult and a launching cannon ensure speed and lots of fun.

The E-Tronic construction kit provides access to the world of electronics. Twelve vivid models illustrate the science of controlling electric current through electronic circuits.

All the kits come with extensive teaching materials, which are also available online. Detailed information can be found at www.fischertechnik.de .
