   - Sphero
   These rolling robots race across any flat surface! Confuse your cats, entertain your kids, and maybe even learn something about computer           coding. You will need a smartphone to download the app to control the robots - the coding is optional. Learn more at https://sphero.com/products/sphero-mini

   - Little Bits Gadgets & Gizmos
   This kit comes with everything you need to create several projects, including a car that really runs! Learn more at https://cdn.sparkfun.com/datasheets/Kits/G&G_Booklet.pdf
