Filed under What Present To Buy Someone Who Likes Making Things
Here's a gift idea that's perfect for anyone with more than a passing interest in robots - a 6 in 1 Solar Robot Kit.
The kit can be built in six different ways which means once you've finished making one robot, you can take it apart and turn it into something else:
Solar Car
Solar Puppy
Solar Airboat
Solar Plane
Solar Windmill
Solar Revolving Plane.
Not only are the diagrams are very easy to follow, it's really fun to make and it's great for showing solar power in action, so it's educational too!
If you live somewhere that doesn't get a lot of sunlight (anywhere in mainland UK for instance) you'll be very happy to hear that the sun isn't the only source of energy this kit can draw power from. A 50 watt halogen lightbulb will do the trick, meaning you can even play with your robot on those rainy winter days.
The 6 in 1 Solar Robot kit can be ordered online for £11.99. For further details click here for more details
