- He solved a 5×5 Rubik’s cube 25 days ago
- He likes puzzles and building robots
- An unassembled SO-101 robot arm is both
- His birthday is Nov 14, so order by Nov 3
An SO-101 robot arm for Dev, about $175. It’s an open-source, 3D-printed arm he builds himself and then teaches to move on its own. Add a magnetic speed cube, and order by Nov 3 so both arrive before his birthday on Sat Nov 14.
Why these:
- SO-101 arm kit (~$130): he likes puzzles and building robots, and assembling, wiring and programming one is the biggest puzzle you could hand him.
- Magnetic speed cube (~$30): he just solved a 5×5, so a faster magnetic cube is a natural upgrade, and it makes a fun first thing for the arm to try picking up.
- Shipping and wrap (~$15): total $175, inside your up-to-$200 budget.
Kits vary, so check that the one you pick includes the motors and controller board.
