1. Light-Chasing Robot
Light up a love of electronics with this light-chasing robot! Wire up the motors, add the switch, and assemble your robot — all while exploring the science behind circuits and sensors. Customize your robot with one of two skins (a turtle or a beetle), then use the included flashlight to make it get a move on. Learn to steer your robot left, right, and head-on... then rewire and reconfigure it so that it runs backwards!

2. Maker Comics: Build a Robot!
In this colorful comic book, a rascally toaster with plans for world domination needs your help to build a robot army! Follow the DIY projects embedded in the story to build your own set of robots — including a brush bot, a scare bot, a remote-controlled car bot, and more — using simple materials from home. Part story, part DIY, and all fun, this book is the perfect fit for budding builders, engineers, and roboticists in the making!

My 6 year old grandson and I had a great time building this well designed robot. Unfortunately the light sensors are a weak link. The flashlight light source, while bright, must nearly touch the sensors to initiate motor function.
