Thames & Kosmos Remote Control Machines: Space Explorers

Ready your courageous robots for a mission to the moon, Mars, or beyond!  With this engineering kit, Remote Control Machines Space Explorers, you can build a remote-controlled model of a robotic rover resembling the ones used to explore Mars. Deploy your Mars rover in the backyard or sandbox and use the remote control unit to survey the uncharted terrain! The remote can control up to three motors, which move the rover back and forth, turn the wheels to steer the rover, and control the robotic arm to pick up samples. This 237-piece construction set includes instructions to build not only the robot rover, but nine additional space-themed models as well.  Kids will be inspired to learn various STEM skills through these fun, hands-on construction projects that bridge two captivating interest areas: robots and outer space.  Requires 6 AAA batteries, not included.

Ages 8 and up.
