A Great 2 Player Set with 3 Machines!
| Tweet |
Description
This two player bundle pack is the perfect gift for two children, or mom and dad can play too! It allows both players to operate their own vehicle, side by side, each with their own ROK Star Controller.
For Big Brother - Our new ROK Star Skip Track is a rugged front loader, with a high reach bucket and special 'Bump & Dump' action for fast loading and unloading of payloads. Just like a real Bob Cat, the Skip Track has skid steering and can spin around on its own axis. Track drive means this tough little machine can climb the steepest hills, crawl over obsticales, and speed through rough terrain. The Skip Track has three independant motors, so you can operate the bucket while the vehicle is in motion. And, an automatic trailer hitch means your ROK Star Controller can command the the Skip Track to hook up to its trailer.
The new ROK Silo is a high capacity storage system that can hold hundreds of red and blue ROKs. The silo acts like a 'bird feeder', spilling more ROKs out as you scoop them into the Skip Track's bucket. The silo features our latest Rokenbok building pieces, the small curve beam and curved window. Add your Automatic Conveyor to the ROK Silo and you'll have an industrial strength ROK stroage and processing station!
This great set also includes all the building pieces you need to build a ROK Blocks Trailer with storage crates and racks, and a Garage/Shed to protect your Skip Track from the elements.
For The Little Brother- Get ROK'n is a young builder’s introduction to Rokenbok remote control action. This set combines the full function remote control Dump Truck with our revolutionary ROK Blocks, and a Motorized Conveyor with chutes and loading docks for sorting and delivery. All the action is controlled by the ROK Star Controller.
This Dump Truck loads from the front or rear, so head straight into a loading dock for a load of red or blue ROKs. Dump your load of ROK balls into the Motorized Conveyor and watch it come to life, automatically. ROKS are lifted into a chute system where they are sorted and stored in the dispensing loading docks, all ready for the next pick-up! Get ROK’n is specifically designed for with the ability to add more Rokenbok remote controlled machines and building sets as your child grows.
What has two microprocessors, multiple gear trains, three motors, and safety clutches? The Rokenbok Dump Truck, of course! Rokenbok remote control machines are tough, real working equipment. They are built for rough play, crashes, and spills. This is not an ordinary toy dump truck, but a precise and rugged ROK Star controlled robot. ROK Star machines are smart too. They won’t interfere with each other so that you can add as many ROK Star machines and controllers as you want to your Rokenbok world.
Requires 15 AA batteries (not included).

2nd ROK Star Controller
Rok Star Technology
ROK Star is a completely wireless, light-based, multi-player, multi-vehicle remote control system. This new control system allows an unlimited number of controllers to talk to an unlimited number of Rokenbok machines simultaneously. Key to ROK Star technology are high-speed data bursts transmitted by infrared light. It's this unique new data transmission architecture that allows multiple controllers to be used at the same time.
The ROK Star controller uses a combination of visible and infrared light to select a vehicle and give it a unique address. Once the ROK Star Controller selects a vehicle to control, the controller and vehicle are paired and the vehicle will ignore data transmitted by all other controllers. It's like cupping your hands over your mouth and yelling "Hey you!" to a playmate across a crowded playground.
Another key issue is the interference from fluorescent lights that often raises havoc with infrared based control systems. A unique optical filtering system was designed that rejects overhead interference from florescent lighting while allowing the high-speed data bursts from the ROK Star controllers to pass into vehicle receivers unimpeded.
The result is well designed, premium quality remote control toys that are both fun and highly functional. The new ROK Star design is more intuitive than Rokenbok's retiring RF based system, and most users will have it up and running right away, without the need to even reference instructions. Just point a controller at a vehicle and press the select button, now you are in control! No switches to set, no addresses to remember - just point, click and it works.
You can find the ROK Star Controller in the ROK Works and Get ROK'n action sets, the Power Sweeper Value Pack, and sold separately.

Update...
I have converted my fleet to rok star, and I LOVE Rok star. I was having so much fun controlling the vehicles from across the room and controlling the monorail, forklift, loader, sweeper, and dump truck al at the same time. I also love the cruise control feature. I would reccomend ROK star to any Rokenboker, new or old.
Solid Engineering
I've been a long time fan of the RC controlled products and was skeptical at first about trying the new ROK Star product line. I would have never imagined the new infrared technology to work this well! After using the new controller with the new street sweeper and loader designs, I almost want to convert my entire collection over to the new technology. Rokenbok products are extremely well engineered and designed to last a long time. The ROK star controller may just seem so simple, yet a ton of engineering and thought must have gone into the actual design. On the back, there are subtle indents right where your forefingers or middle fingers comfortably rest, making the product feel very natural to hold. The buttons are ergonomically placed as well, making them very easy to activate, even for smaller hands. Overall, the enhancements on the new ROK star products make these worth the upgrade or additional investment. New features such as the back-up beeper, horn and alarms really add additional fun. I was also able to control most vehicles well over 10 feet away, and select them just as easily, which really surprised me. Rokenbok products are one of those toys that gets better all the time, just when you think there's no way to even make them better!

Get Rokn Young Action Set
One word - Awesome! My son is 6 years old and loves trucks and heavy construction equipment. We have been visiting granite quarries since he was born to watch the trucks and other construction vehicles move granite around. When he received this set - it was an instant hit. The dump truck hauls and dumps like the real thing. The lights, engine sound, and back up siren are awesome. He loves driving the truck back and forth picking up the rok balls and driving them back to the conveyor belt. The instructions were so clear and easy to read, he built everything himself. He loves the trailer that hooks up to the dump truck and he seems to come up with different designs daily. The wireless controller works great and allows him to move around freely all over the house. The quality is outstanding and he spends hours playing with it every day. Great product! Keep up the great design work and innovation. Looking forward to many more years of fun and creativity!
What a great set for older AND younger kids!
I got this set my seven and two year old boys and they absolutely LOVE it! The older loves to play with the RC set constantly loading and unloading the blue and red balls pretending he's at the recycling plant. Although the two year loves to watch his older brother he also loves to drive the truck... mostly in a circle though. Haha. What I love the most about this set is that it also came with a set of Rok Blocks that the two year old loves to play with. He loves that fact that he can actually take apart and put together the pieces. Although I have made the airplane and the truck and the other suggested configurations in the instruction manual the two year old is just as happy making a straight tower and just takes pride that he built it on his own. Almost every night I tugged over to the play corner where he proudly tells me "See that! I did it!". Great product. Very durable and great for replayability. Will definitely be buying more to add onto this set.
Rokenboking for over 13 years!
"I originally bought several Rokenbok sets in 1997 for my youngest son, then age 6. The sets were used on a daily basis by all three of my sons and many of their friends and my husband and I were impressed with the quality of the building materials and vehicles. Eventually the sets were packed up until I recently got everything out for my 4 year old granddaughter and ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING worked perfectly. My oldest son, now 31, and his daughter had a great time with the old sets and my recent order is a Christmas present so they can expand and update. I thought the starter set would allow my granddaughter to work independently while my son sets up the more complex pieces. He was thrilled to see the Rokenbok again and has to agree to share with his two brothers when they visit. Your products are excellent. . . Now that I've found the website, which I have shared with my sons, we will continue to order additional sets.
Thank you for your innovation and attention to quality,"

A Toy to Learn and Grow
I was amazed how fast my son could pick up the controller and play. The ease of use for little ones is very good. The hand eye coordination this teaches will for sure help him in the future. This is such a fun toy for parents to pick up and play too! Because the configuration can be changed it can be adapted to different rooms and play areas. What a great to that will last through the years!!!!!
Excellent product!
My 5 year old son Jonah received the Get Rok'n Young Builder & Action Set a few weeks ago. From the moment we pulled it out of the box, we knew we'd love it. Set up was quick and easy thanks to the large, full-color illustrations. He was playing within minutes, and has played with it for many hours so far. The controller is easy to use but "it doesn't feel babyish", according to Jonah. I asked Jonah what he liked about it and he said "the conveyor belt because it can sort the balls" and "trucks because you can pull trailers". Also, "you can add different things." Indeed, you can add different things, as this set is compatible with the Rokenbok sets made for older children. Years from now, Jonah will probably still be using the pieces from this set in conjunction with other Rokenbok sets. The Get Rok'n Young Builder & Action Set has also been a hit with Jonah's 5 year old cousin Isabella. She said "it's cool" and asks to play with it every time she visits. Our 7 and 9 year old neighbors have been over to use it as well, and 7 year old Justin even says he wants one. I knew Jonah would love this toy, but I was pleasantly surprised how much his father and I love it, too. With Rokenbok's Lifetime Guarantee, as well as compatibility with their other products, I feel this toy is a great investment for any family.
A very educational and exciting toy
My son and I couldn't wait to get the Young builder action set in the mail. The minute we recieved this in the mail my son couldn't wait to set it up. I found the new wireless controllers very appropriate for the 3+ year old range, as my son (who is 3), had a hard time with the original Rokenbok setup and required me to do all the work. My son can now set up the whole set by himself. He's getting the hang of driving and the tightness of the controls make the dump truck turn on a dime. The sounds that come from the dump truck are a nice added feature and he loves them. Great job Rokenbok.
Great fun!
We've been collecting Rokenbok for years and we just bought this set as a gift for my nephew's 4th birthday. He loves Bob the Builder and Cars so I though a real working remote control dump truck and construction system would be perfect for him. His eyes lit up when he saw the packaging. The rest of the party all he wanted to do was drive it around! That was about 2 months ago and my sister says he still plays with it everyday.
A Really Cool Toy
Have you ever seen a toy that your whole family wants to play with? I hadn't! Not until I reviewed these sets from Rokenbok. My 3 yr old, my 6 yr old twins, my 9 yr old, myself, and the hubs have ALL been having fun building! Now I don't know about you, but when I find something that can entertain our entire family, I get excited! Rokenbok consists of ROK Blocks, Classic RC machines, and Complete Action Sets. Rokenbok lets the children (and adults) build their own ideas. Or if you're out of your own ideas, visit the Hard Hat Area for some inspiration! When the building is complete that's when the play begins! The Get ROK'n Young Builder and Action Set is by far the favorite among my boys. This is the toy they keep returning to over and over and over.
This set includes the super cool Dump Truck with the ROK Star Controller, 2 little men, a Motorized Conveyor with chutes for sorting, red and blue balls to sort and several ROK Blocks to build with. The boys just love how easy it is to set up (and I love that it's easy to put away!). They fill the Dump Truck with the ROK balls take it over to the conveyor and dump them in. The Conveyor comes to life instantly, the green chutes sort them into the loading dock, where they can easily steer the Dump Truck with the controller over for another pick up. The Dump Truck can load facing forwards or backwards making it super easy for little guys. Another nice touch is that the Dump Truck has lights and makes a beeping noise when backing up. The boys really got a kick out of it! Read the full review.
Great first set!
I bought this set for my younger child of 4. He had no problem getting the dump truck to do its thing right away. I actually had to pry him away the first day! He also loves the ease of the controller. It find it so rewarding to spend more time with my kids because I wanna play with these toys as well. I highly recommend this set!
A four-yearl-old's dream toy!
I never would have guessed that our four-year-old son would be so good at operating this remote control set. There are lots of buttons and features in the remote, but he seems to understand it all. He loves to make custom trailers with the blocks that are included, and likes to make airplanes to tow with the dump truck too. His little sister is mesmerized by the conveyor. She loves to pour balls in and watch it start up by itself. Rokenbok is a home-run at our house, and we are likely to add to our collection during the holidays.
