Discover a new world of play and learning!
Kids define how they want to play. Whether you’re into hosting make-believe
tea parties, having jousts at magical kingdoms, or adventuring with friends,
Dash & Dot will be there every step of the way. Children ages 5 and up
learn the foundations of problem solving and computer programming as they have
fun with Dash & Dot.
Dash is an explorer who zips around the room, getting into mischief along the way. Using sensors, Dash can detect objects in front and behind, hear where you are, and see where Dot is. This robot has quite the personality and becomes more capable as you program and play.
Dot is a puppet master who instigates the adventures that Dash goes on. When you toss, shake, or pick Dot up, Dot sends a signal telling Dash what to do. Dot can also tell stories using lights, sounds, and eye expressions.

The xylophone that turns Dash into a one-robot marching band. Compose your own songs, or remix some of your favorite tunes. Dazzle your family and friends with your masterpiece!
Transform Dash & Dot into an animal, a delivery truck, and even a catapult using your own LEGO bricks. Note that LEGO bricks are not included in the pack.
Add the power of your smartphone to Dash using the smartphone mount. Make a spy bot by recording video as you tell Dash where to go, or have a Facetime call as Dash turns to who’s talking.
The accessories pack includes three sets of attachments that give Dash & Dot new abilities. Turn Dash into a bulldozer with the push bar, transform into a rabbit with the bunny tail and ears, and pull other toys along with the tow hook.
