## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos My Robotic Pet: Coding Chameleon is a 15-inch interactive STEM kit designed for kids 8 and up. It combines hands-on assembly with screen-free coding using physical action cards, enabling users to program movements and behaviors. Equipped with color and infrared sensors plus RGB LEDs, the chameleon can camouflage, react to touch, and perform programmed sequences across three play modes. This kit fosters learning in robotics, biomimicry, and engineering through a detailed 48-page guide, making it a unique educational toy that blends creativity with technology.

## Description

Build a loyal robotic reptile buddy that responds to your gestures, changes colors, and automatically fires and retracts its tongue! This first-of-its-kind robotic chameleon is equipped with a color sensor, infrared sensor, and RGB LEDs that allow you to code and program it in three unique play modes. In Coding Mode, you’ll use the included colorful action cards to program your pet to carry out a series of movements. In Wild Mode, the chameleon will camouflage and turn into the color of its surroundings, stalk possible prey, and shoot its tongue out at objects that might be a yummy treat! Finally, in Pet Mode, your robot pal gets friendly, walking around searching for you and showing its excitement when you pet it. In addition to learning how the robotic components are utilized in real-life devices, you’ll also gain insight into how biomimicry looks to natural and organic systems to inspire, improve, and solve engineering design challenges.

Review: Great toy - My son loved this! He enjoyed putting it together and playing with it. Extremely time consuming to assemble but he had fun.
Review: Very cheap and difficult to assemble - I wasn’t expecting such a difficult assembly. I feel the product description leaves out this detail. When my granddaughter opened this and I saw the hundreds of cheap plastic pieces my heart sank. She lives abroad and I only had one afternoon to spend on this with her. Fortunately my son was able to help. It took 3-1/2 hours with the two of us working together (both degreed engineers) to build “Carl”. The parts are cheap with terrible tolerances. The assembly is rickety at best. The assembly process is difficult for adults so not sure how a 12 year old would manage it without help. After three times testing the ejecting tongue, a tiny blue piece came out from the bowels of the assembly, rendering the tongue inoperable. Carl would not walk on carpet at all and only barely walk on wood floor while tipping over easily. I don’t expect this to last very long. My son will have to tear it almost completely apart to get the piece back in that came out. I was also expecting actual basic software coding to control the chameleon but admittedly I didn’t read the product description fully. I was very disappointed in this product. It’s just as cheap as the price would suggest. I should have known better.

## Features

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Conflicted
*by M***. on January 3, 2026*

Very cool toy. Too advanced for kids. Took parent 3+ hours to complete but kids LOVE it. Have to use video to complete build. Written directions are pretty confusing but there is a QR code in the instructions that direct you to the video directions. But the kids love all the functions from it following them around the house to shooting his tongue out
