A hands-on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) experiment kit, SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot Kit provides a fun and engaging introduction to solar energy and its nearly limitless potential.
Build and experiment with 8 unique solar-powered robots that march, roll, crawl, and more! The 194-piece kit includes a compact solar panel that gets the robots moving--no batteries required! Works best in direct sunlight, but can also be used indoors with an incandescent light at least 50W
A 48-page, full-color manual guides robot assembly and offers scientific facts and info about the real-life applications of solar technology.
Robots include a drummer bot, armadillo bot, solar bug, dino bot, and more!
- Zoomer, the Race-Car SolarBot, races along long, flat straightaways.
- Armie, the Armadillo SolarBot, is a master of somersaults and tumbling.
- Tank, the Tank SolarBot, excels at roving over rough terrain with its tread-like feet.
