Thames & Kosmos Gravity Bugs™ Free-Climbing MicroBot
Grades 3–9
Reach new heights in robotics and engineering. This hands-on construction kit shows students the power of air pressure and brings engineering and physics to life.
Build a mighty robotic bug that defies gravity to crawl up, down, and all around windows and other smooth, flat surfaces.
As students assemble the motorized, multi-legged robot, they'll learn about its inner mechanisms, including gears and an electric circuit complete with motor, battery, and switch.
Next, they'll experiment to see which types of surfaces their Gravity Bug can climb best, and read about how suction cups work and how this robot climbs.
This kit includes 78 pieces and an 8-page guide. Requires 1 AAA battery.
WARNING: Choking Hazard. Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
