Meet the SolarBots!
The kit comes with instructions to build 8 fun robots that each move in a unique way:
- 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.
- Dizzy, the Spinning SolarBot, manages to twirl endlessly in circles without getting dizzy!
- Bronto, the Dinosaur SolarBot, stomps along happily.
- Axel, the Big-Wheel SolarBot, rolls along on two giant wheels--as long as the sun keeps shining!
- Cricket, the Bug SolarBot, crawls along on six legs.
- Major, the Drumming SolarBot, marches to the beat of its own drum--literally!
