Description
Quick Facts:
New ROK Star technology controls every Rokenbok machine with a single, wireless controller.
Just aim ROK Star at any Rokenbok machine to take control.
No limits! Add as many machines and remote controllers as you want to your Rokenbok World.
Children love new sounds too; horn, back-up warning and siren.
Lifetime Guarantee on ROK Star Controller and Rokenbok building pieces.
Please note: The ROK Star Controller will not control Rokenbok Classic RC (radio controlled) machines.
ROK Star is wireless, multi-player, multi-vehicle remote control. The ROK Star Controller not only lets you control any number of Rokenbok ROK Star machines, it lets you switch on the go. Just point and control. What’s more, everyone can play. Add as many ROK Star remote controllers and Rokenbok machines as you want. Designed to be easy enough for a preschooler and yet appeal to our most advanced Rokenbokers, ROK Star is at the heart of Rokenbok interactive play.
ROK Star is a unique, patent pending technology. To make the system easy and intuitive, we combined broad and narrow beam IR and visible light transmitters, invented new reflective optical filtering, and built a proprietary microprocessor based control system. The result is something the world has never seen before.
Press and hold the Select button, then aim the red light beam at any ROK Star machine. That machine is now in your control! Use the large directional wheel to move the machine around your Rokenbok world. Additional functions, like lifting or dumping, are performed by pressing the A, B, X, or Y function buttons.
Here are some other ROK Star features:
- Toggle a siren on or off.
- Operate a horn and flash lights.
- Change the pitch of the horn.
- Slow the speed of machines for precise maneuvering.
- Put machines in cruise control mode.
- Sound a back-up warning.
Requires 3 AA batteries (not included).
What's In The Box

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.
Common Questions
Q- What is the range of ROK Star Controller?
A- You can control Rokenbok machines up to 10 -15 feet away without moving. Because ROK Star is completely wireless and you can follow your machine, the range is effectively limitless.
Q- Can I control multiple vehicles simultaneously with a single ROK Star controller?
A- Yes, by depressing and holding the select button, you can log-on simultaneously to as many vehicles as you want.
Q- Is ROK Star compatible with Rokenbok RC controllers?
A- You can use ROK Star and Rokenbok RC controllers side-by-side in the same layout, but you cannot control Rokenbok RC vehicles with a ROK Star controller.

Rok Star Controller
The new Rokstar controllers are an easy choice. We are experienced Rokenbokers and the Rokstar system is fantastic. From the infrared synch button to the additional sounds such as the siren and horn these are hard to get out of the boys hands. Both boys had the Rokstar controller figured out in 5 minutes and as always the quality is outstanding.
A great improvement
We just converted our line over to the ROk Star system and love not having the cords all over the place. It makes it much easier for little ones to control and less cluttered in my house which is always a plus. My only complaint is that it is easy for the controller to lose connection with the machines if there is anything inbetween you and the machine. For example we set up a rokenbok monorail track around our chirstmas tree and it will get to the back and lose signal so we have to lean around to get it to pick back up to make it all the way around the tree. Its not a big deal when an adult is driving but when the little ones are driving they get upset and think its broken because its not going anymore. All in all its still awesome though
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!

Best thing since the monorail!
I have been Rokenboking for almost ten years now, and I have to say, there have been three major Rokenbok changes: The invention of the monorail, the inventors series, and now, the rok star controller! This is limitless, and I can drive vehicles all around my basement without worrying about range. I love this. This truly is the greatest improvement Rokenbok has made since they invented the monorail. I would recomend this to any Rokenboker, new or old to Rokenbok. I just wish Rokenbok could make more vehicles come out with Rok star sooner... They did make the right choice of the first 6 vehicles to bring into rok star. Rok star is a whole new era of Rokenbok.
The only semi-problem I found was that behind walls when I controlled 2 vehicles at the same time, I found it to be harder to switch back to one, and it took some effort to point the laser beam at only one vehicle.
Besides that, Rok star is perfect.
