This solar-powered robotics kit allows users to build five different robots without requiring batteries. The set contains all necessary components to construct the main robot, Helio, along with four interchangeable vehicle bases that can be assembled simultaneously. Helio features an electric motor driven by the included solar panel and can be easily attached to different bases to create distinct moving robots: a two-legged Walking Bot for exploration, a three-wheeled Trike Bot with steering capability, a six-legged Bug Bot for stability, and an Orbiting Platform that rotates gently.
The building process introduces practical concepts about solar energy and the sun's role in powering technology. A 36-page color manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions, suitable for ages 6+ with adult supervision or 9+ for independent play. The solar panel operates under direct sunlight or with an indoor light source of at least 50 watts (such as a halogen lamp or incandescent bulb).
