Thames & Kosmos – Robot Factory:Wacky, Misfit, Rogue Robots

Build a series of wacky, motorized robots with this introductory mechanical engineering kit for kids ages five and up. A beautifully illustrated 32-page storybook centers around the adventures of the Omegas — the family of makers and engineers featured in other Kids First early engineering kits. As they follow the story, kids can build models of eight different robots and experiment with them to see how each one uses the battery-powered motor, gears, and other mechanical parts.

Each robot moves its arms or legs in a different way, creating funny walking and moving behaviours, and also teaching kids how simple mechanical systems work.

Box size:  10 x 11 x 2.5 in.  Ages: 5 years+
