Cheap Bot: 6 In 1 Tool-Free Solar Robot Kit
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 27 of May , 2009 at 5:05 am
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.

Cool, I’ll bet the boat even floats too!

This seems like an amazing toy to get kids hooked on the idea of alternative energy sources!
Anything we can do to get it into children’s heads early on in life is a fastastic innovation.
