Augie is a smartly designed, well-constructed, durable, multi-faceted robotic learning toy. Parents were thrilled to discover that there is not a long list of instructions to work through, but the ones provided are easy to follow with the downloadable iPad app. Augie has no sharp edges or corners, no clunky parts that break off, and it possesses an ultra-modern feel. Augie has several modes which we’ll briefly outline here. Free Play allows you to use an on-screen control pad to move Augie like a remote-control car. There is also a voice recording function, so your children can place their own messages inside the bot. Trailblazer lets your children chart their own physical course for Augie. This is a fun and interactive game that uses critical thinking skills to plan within a defined space. Coding Classroom gives a great step-by-step tutorial on how to code by setting small movements then linking them together for a larger pathway while the Control Center lets you string together several sequences. AR Adventures is an augmented reality game where Augie battles small creatures and finally AR Coding combines both the augmented reality and coding features. Testers felt that Augie has some great features that even a five-year old can grasp, but also interesting enough to peak anyone in the familys interest.
