## Description

Build a loyal robotic reptile buddy that responds to your gestures, changes colors, and automatically fires and retracts its tongue! This first-of-its-kind robotic chameleon is equipped with a color sensor, infrared sensor, and RGB LEDs that allow you to code and program it in three unique play modes. In Coding Mode, you’ll use the included colorful action cards to program your pet to carry out a series of movements. In Wild Mode, the chameleon will camouflage and turn into the color of its surroundings, stalk possible prey, and shoot its tongue out at objects that might be a yummy treat! Finally, in Pet Mode, your robot pal gets friendly, walking around searching for you and showing its excitement when you pet it. In addition to learning how the robotic components are utilized in real-life devices, you’ll also gain insight into how biomimicry looks to natural and organic systems to inspire, improve, and solve engineering design challenges.

Review: Conflicted - Very cool toy. Too advanced for kids. Took parent 3+ hours to complete but kids LOVE it. Have to use video to complete build. Written directions are pretty confusing but there is a QR code in the instructions that direct you to the video directions. But the kids love all the functions from it following them around the house to shooting his tongue out
Review: Great toy - My son loved this! He enjoyed putting it together and playing with it. Extremely time consuming to assemble but he had fun.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great toy

My son loved this! He enjoyed putting it together and playing with it. Extremely time consuming to assemble but he had fun.

### ⭐ Extremely challenging- couldn’t get it to work
*by J***L on January 1, 2026*

If you want to ruin your day by all means buy this product. After several times and many hours building, taking apart, and rebuilding, it still has issues with the tongue and isn’t working properly. The pieces are very fragile and do not connect together effectively and the quality is just not there. The pieces all come attached and you have to shave down little nubs when you disconnect them; so much work just to get the pieces and it’s not like Lego where you have the pieces you need on each part. You have to search for them on the different attachments. My husband is very good at building and technical things and this was still an extremely challenging product.
