Gravity Bugs: Free Climbing MicroBot Kit (Carton of 6 Kits)

Going up! Build a small but powerful robotic bug that defies gravity to crawl up, down, and around windows and other smooth, flat surfaces with ease! This motorized, multi-legged machine uses an ingenious system of suction cups to walk on smooth vertical surfaces like windows and glossy panels. Assemble the robot to learn about its inner mechanisms, including gears and an electric circuit complete with motor, battery, and switch. Then experiment to see which types of surfaces your Gravity Bug can climb best. Read about how air pressure and how suction cups work to discover how this robot climbs then build your own bug with third-generation wall-walking technology with advanced suction-cup design.

This hands-on construction kit brings engineering and physics to life as it demonstrates the power of air pressure at work. An eight-panel, full-color manual guides your model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions. Ages 8+
