6-IN-1 Solar Robot Kit

Solar energy really seems to be taking off, and it's about time too. The 6 in 1 Solar Robot Kit takes full advantage of that flaming ball of gas, not 93,000,000 miles away, we lovingly call the sun. It's a DIY beginner's kit that's perfect for anyone with more than a passing interest in robots (which is everyone, surely?). You can build the kit 6 different ways which means once you've finished making one robot, you can take it apart and turn it into a solar powered boat, windmill, or car and that's just 3 of them. The diagrams are very easy to follow, we even let the office luddite have a go at building one. Not only is it really fun to make but it's great for showing you solar power in action, so it's educational as well as fun to make.If you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of sunlight (anywhere in mainland UK for instance) you'll be very happy to hear that the sun isn't the only source of energy this kit can draw power from. A 50 watt halogen lightbulb will do the trick, meaning you can even play with your robot on those rainy winter days. The 6 in 1 Solar Robot kit is just the ticket for the eco conscious roboteer.A solar powered robot kit that can be used to build six different models including:Features: Solar Car Solar Puppy Solar Airboat Solar Plane Solar Windmill Solar Revolving Plane.
