Teksta Robotics Scorpion from Character

With a 5 year old interested in computers, gadgets and radio controlled cars I was interested in the Teksta Robotics Scorpion from Character. This is aimed at children aged 5+ and we were sent one to review.

Teksta Robotics have produced a wireless motion control interactive toy in the shape of a scorpion. It uses intuitive motion control technology via a module you wear or hold to control the scorpion. His powerful jaws capture the power core.

Teksta Robotics Scorpion:

the light up eye shows you he’s ready to be under your control

the scorpion moves in all directions

stop him by moving your hand horizontally/tilt your hand and he moves

the legs are fully animated

the lightning quick snapping jaws grab objects

works on his own or with up to 5 other Teksta scorpions at the same time

 

When you take the Scorpion out of the box you need to connect it to the module so they can talk to each other. Then you can control your scorpion. They work best on wooden floors and they can move really fast! My 3 and 5 year old loved controlling the scorpion and making it move around the room.

We had fun playing with the Teksta Robotics Scorpion. It comes with a power core which the Scorpion can grab. We found one of the legs came off easily but it snapped back on. One Scorpion is fun but I imagine it’s a lot more fun if there are 2 or more so they can fight each other!

The Teksta Robotics Scorpion costs £39.99 and is available from Amazon and all good toy shops.
