Design Robots Powered by the Sun

The solar powered robot can be transformed into 14 different robot modes which include a multitude of comical and functional movements. The user can easily change from a wagging-tail, running beetle, walking crab, surfer, speedster or to a 'zombie chaser'.

With alternative energy playing such a pivotal role, there is no better time than now to start children on the path to learning basic concepts behind robotics and renewable energy resources. Fortunately, this product is powered by the sun, so there are no batteries required. The robot moves in the direct sunlight and allows children to create and use their infinite imagination.

There are two levels in building the robot kit. Level one includes: Turtle-bot, Beetle-bot, Quadru-bot, Boat-bot, Walker-bot, Dog-bot, and Wheel-bot. After they amuse themselves with the entry level, can challenge their manipulative skills with second level: Roly Poly-bot, Auto-bot, Slither-bot, Surf-bot, Zombie-bot, Crab-bot, and Row-bot.

Additional features include:

• Unique accessories that can make the robot move on land or water
• Adjustable polarity on the solar panel to change direction of motor rotation
• Retractable robot head which can be quickly stored in the upper body
• The robot head can be installed in the front, top or rear of the gearbox
• Transparent housing to see the movements of the gears
