SmartLab You-Build-It RoboXplorer

It’s RoboXplorer! Kids build their very own multi-terrain, robotic, vehicle, complete with six S-shaped legs designed to conquer some of the toughest terrains, like sand, rocks, and grass. Test its limits by towing toy cars, climbing stacks of books, or negotiating a wall. RoboXplorer will stop at almost nothing! Includes instructions for 5 guided projects that touch upon the science of motion and energy to explain why RoboXplorer reacts differently to various terrains. Testing the Limits!, by Zena Chew and collaborator Colleen Sheridan, is a fully illustrated booklet that doubles as a lab journal. Young explorers are encouraged to gather data and log their findings right into the booklet. This kit also includes fascinating information about how another multi-terrain robotic vehicle and a cockroach inspired the creation of RoboXplorer.
