Wonder Workshop Dash review

Dash is Wonder Workshop's programmable robot, now sold by MORAVIA Education, which acquired Wonder Workshop's assets. It arrives assembled and charged, and children aged 6 to 11 program it in free apps such as Blockly and Wonder to move, sing, dance, flash its lights, respond to voices and tell stories. The maker lists the concepts covered as sequencing, events, loops, algorithms, operations and variables. Dash has no camera; sensors let it detect obstacles and sounds. A full charge gives about 5 hours of active play and recharging takes under an hour. Once the apps are on an iPad or Android device, no internet connection is needed. The box holds the robot, a USB charging cord and two building brick connectors. At $189.99 it is the most expensive single robot here, accessories such as the Launcher ($34.99), Sketch Kit ($44.99) and Gripper ($44.99) add more, and the battery cannot be replaced by the owner.
