Our Review of the Orba by Artiphon

October 23, 2021 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I'm not certain how to describe the Orba by Artiphon, but I suppose the best descriptor would be an instrument. I usually don't review instruments, but this one, I could probably use to become a music star. All right, I'm not going to do that, as you have seen in the video below. From the moment that you take it out of the box, you can start hitting the buttons around … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Orba by Artiphon

Drew Review, Part 2: Foosketball from Hasbro

May 22, 2021 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Foosketball is one of those name mash-ups that is what I implied, a strange but effective breeding of basketball with foosball. It is made by toy giant Hasbro, and it is a lot of fun. You can see in the image that this is a one-on-one kind of basketball tournament, and I'll do my best to describe the controls. You can slide your player back and forth with those sticks, … [Read more...] about Drew Review, Part 2: Foosketball from Hasbro

OAXIS Review: myFirst Camera Insta 2 and myFirst Headphones BC Wireless

July 31, 2020 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

So, we had the opportunity to review two products from OAXIS, a company that we have not reported on in the past. Just from what I can find on their website, the company of OAXIS is an Asian company started in 2010, and the name is derived from "oasis". This is a company that wants to be something good in a technological desert, and we reviewed the innovative products of … [Read more...] about OAXIS Review: myFirst Camera Insta 2 and myFirst Headphones BC Wireless

Our Review of Tangiplay Code N Play

July 31, 2020 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

Once again, I have found myself reviewing another educational toy that is based in STEM and coding. I swear, I should probably devote a separate site to this, or just devote this entire site to stuff like the Tangiplay. So what is the Tangiplay? Well, as you can see from my video (as soon as it posts, usually within a week of when I post the article), the Tangiplay is … [Read more...] about Our Review of Tangiplay Code N Play

Arcade Coder Review

December 20, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I've seen some really interesting educational toys devoted to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics), but I do have to admire one from a company called Technology Will Save Us. This is is the Arcade Coder, and it may look like a 12 x 12 board of multi-colored LED buttons, because that is what it is. All right, I am clearly under-selling this, but … [Read more...] about Arcade Coder Review

Review of the UBTECH Jimu Robots Builderbots Series: Overdrive Kit

November 23, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

It has been about two years since I wrote my book about UBTECH's Jimu Robots, and about that long since I have reviewed one of their awesome STEM building kits. I was very pleased to review the Builderbots series, also known as the Overdrive Kit. You can see here by the product box alone that you can build a dumptruck thing, as well as this weird scooper of a thing. I … [Read more...] about Review of the UBTECH Jimu Robots Builderbots Series: Overdrive Kit

Botzees from Pai Technology

July 14, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

I'm not certain if there is a word for these educational building kits, but they usual follow this particular mold of having different pieces, a big brick that serves as a CPU, and a lot of programming. I have talked about LEGO MINDSTORMS and Jimu Robots, and I have written books about them. It was at CES last January where I discovered Pai Technology and their Botzees, and I … [Read more...] about Botzees from Pai Technology

Our E-Blox Circuit Blox Review

July 9, 2019 By Techno_Mark 1 Comment

Okay, we are going to conclude our E-Blox trilogy with a review of this Circuit Blox Review. Granted, my review of the Power Blox and Story Blox was combined into one, but the Circuit Blox review is worth one review. The Circuit Blox is kind of a mix of two educational toys: LEGO and circuit boards. I'm not certain how educational building blocks are, but I'm hoping that … [Read more...] about Our E-Blox Circuit Blox Review

The E-Blox Power Blox and Story Blox Review

July 8, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

We're going to do two for the price of one on this particular review, as these two products are very similar. That is, there are some blox, and they both contain a power pack that lights up some blocks. Also, they are compatible with LEGO (I tested it out in case you were curious). E-Blox Power Blox Review The set that I got here was rather interesting, and it … [Read more...] about The E-Blox Power Blox and Story Blox Review

Blipblox Toy Synthesizer Review

June 25, 2019 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

This generation has created a whole new type of superstar/celebrity with the DJ. I have to admit that I admire them with their ability to make music something truly awesome with often just "two tables and a microphone". A company known as Playtime Engineering has created a very intelligent children's toy with the Blipblox Toy Synthesizer. I really had no idea what to … [Read more...] about Blipblox Toy Synthesizer Review

PowerUP 3.0 Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane

October 31, 2018 By Kris Rollins Leave a Comment

cardinal template

This is a fun Christmas gift for the hobbyist in your life. The PowerUP 3.0 kit will allow you to take paper airplanes to a whole new level! This project started out on KickStarter several years ago. The inventor is a pilot. It was originally iPhone only, which is limiting for some people, but now there is an app for Android. Some Android users report having issues with … [Read more...] about PowerUP 3.0 Smartphone Controlled Paper Airplane

A Review of Cublets Robot Blocks Twelve Kit from Modular Robotics

March 2, 2018 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

cubelets 12 header alt2w

I have to admit, when I received the Cubelets to review, I couldn't help but compare it to the Makerblock Neuron Inventor Kit that I just reviewed. Is it coming to the point where I'm reviewing a STEM product every week? If so, I'm cool with it. So, let's talk Cubelets. I don't think I could have done this review if it wasn't for my son, because he was really into them. … [Read more...] about A Review of Cublets Robot Blocks Twelve Kit from Modular Robotics

Our Review of the Jimu Robot Tankbot from UBTECH

December 13, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

tankbot

In case you are wondering, this is a sequel review to our review of the Buzzbot and Muttbot. This is the same robot building kit from Jimu Robot from UBTECH, and you can read my review of that at the link, as well as my comparison to Lego. The Tankbot is one of those robot kits where I am surprised that all the pieces that are in the kit are used, with only a few … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Jimu Robot Tankbot from UBTECH

Our Review of the Jimu Robot BuzzBot and MuttBot Kit from UBTECH

December 7, 2016 By Techno_Mark Leave a Comment

buzzbot

As someone who has written a book about Lego Technic and Lego Mindstorms, I was very pleased to review the Jimu Robot Buzzbot and MuttBot Kit from UBTECH. There is going to be a lot of comparison made to Lego, but please keep in mind that the Jimu Robot kits are definitely their own thing. It's like those people who think that Star Trek and Babylon 5 are the same, when they … [Read more...] about Our Review of the Jimu Robot BuzzBot and MuttBot Kit from UBTECH
