Abstract: Embodiments include a construction toy kit having component parts capable of being assembled in a configuration chosen by the user. The kit may contain a connector extending from a first end to a second end, having a securement comprising a first retainer feature, a second retainer feature and a third retainer feature. The connector may further have a first grip extending from the first end toward the securement, where the first grip is sized to receive a feature of a building panel. The kit may also contain a multiple building panels of various configurations, a mat used as a base for erecting a structure and multiple sensor components. These components among others may be assembled to create structure such as a race course for robotic toys. The sensor elements may be implemented by the user to sense various actions of the robotic toy, and respond as chosen by the user.
