Discovery Kids 1006973 Solar Robot Creation Kit - Gray

About this deal

The Discovery Kids Solar Robot Creation Kit (model 1006973) is part of the Discovery #Mindblown STEM range, aimed at children aged 8 and up. It is a 12-in-1 kit containing 190 pieces , including a solar panel and positive and negative cables, with which children build a real working solar-powered motor that serves as the motorised foundation for each robot model. With those pieces you can build robots that walk, roll, or float. Twelve included blueprints provide detailed, illustrated step-by-step instructions for 12 different robots, and the kit includes a wide assortment of piece types such as pistons, shafts, gears, tyres, and hinged panels. For best results the robot should be operated outside in full direct sunlight; indoors, a 100W halogen bulb held 4 inches away is needed, as clouds, shade, or lower-wattage bulbs will limit performance. A good hands-on STEM gift for budding young engineers.
