Cheap Bot: 6 In 1 Tool-Free Solar Robot Kit

Kit

This little kit might be a good way to get someone you know into robots, since it’s dirt cheap ($21), doesn’t require tools, and only has 25 parts. Somehow, you’re able to build six dramatically different things with those parts, including a boat, a car, a dog that is apparently somehow in space, and some windmilly type things, all of which operate on solar power. This is only a robot in an extremely narrow sense, and honestly, I’m not sure if it really qualifies as a robot at all, since I don’t think it responds to any control or stimuli. But heck, it looks like fun, you get to build stuff, it’s eco-friendly or whatever, and like I said before, it’s dirt cheap. You’ll find it over at Red5 in the UK.

I think most people would build the car and stop. Maybe good for a young child but after that easily forgotten. but it is cheap.
