Check out these great robot kits to get a start in the science of robotics. These are a great way to start a science project.



Moon Walker II Owi Robot Kit (Requires Soldering)

Moon Walker II Owi Robot Kit (Requires Soldering)

Not one, but two! Light AND sound! MOON WALKER II has combined the technology of two sensors. A whimsical indication of future trends, MOON WALKER II begins to walk when it detects a change in light intensity or sound commands. MOON WALKER II continues its four-legged voyage until instructed by an internal timer to stop. This kit presents an engaging opportunity to learn about some of the mechanics, operation and history of robots. When assembled, this robot uses a phototransistor to sense changes in light (such as turning on a lamp) and a condenser microphone to sense changes in sound (such as clapping). It converts those stimuli into electronic signals to power a motor, and MOON WALKER II will walk forward for a time. When it stops, affecting other change in light or sound may activate it again. The sensors can be adjusted for different sensitivity levels.


All Terrain Robot Kit Scrambler

All Terrain Robot Kit Scrambler

This 6-legged Robot walks in a straight line until it sees an object in its path. The Robot's eye, a state-of-the-art infrared beam like those used in alarm system motion detectors, sees the object and alerts the motor control circuits which alter the Robot's course to avoid the object. The BOOK discusses infrared beams, operational amplifiers, photodetectors, motor control theory, and more. Illustrated assembly instructions, schematic and block diagrams, quiz and troubleshooting guide complete the Book.


Digital Programmable Robot 'Copycat'

Digital Programmable Robot 'Copycat'

You program this robot to go forward, turn right, turn left, pause, sound a buzzer, light an LED. A sequence of up to 256 instructions can be programmed with the 7 function keypad. OPTIONAL Computer Interface Kits G-623A allows you to program the robot using a computer. Use Model G-811A to program with G-809 Micro-processor Trainer. AN INTERFACE KIT IS NOT NECESSARY. The same programs can be given to the Robot using the keypad or Interface Kit. The Robot's brain, a 1k Static Ram IC, retains instructions YOU Program using the supplied keypad. The 42 page 2-color Instruction Manual covers digital logic including flip-flops and memory. Several schematic & block diagrams are used to explain circuit theory. Illustrated assembly instructions are troubleshooting guide complete the comprehensive book. Requires one 9V and two AA batteries (not included).


Hexapod Robot Monster Kit

Hexapod Robot Monster Kit

The hexapod monster is a six-legged robot that walks forward until it detects an obstacle, in which case it backs up and turns before resuming its forward motion. There is a separate gearbox for each side of the robot, allowing for differential control of the robot's motion. Obstacle detection is performed through an infrared sensor at the front of the robot. The kit consists of four die-cut and painted plywood panels, a printed circuit board, two motors and gearboxes, battery holders, and all necessary hardware and components. The robot runs off of two AA batteries (motors) and a 9V battery (sensor electronics). The Elenco hexapod monster is a kit assembly is required. This kit requires soldering Two AA batteries and a 9V battery are required but not included.


Antoid Robot Kit MR-1002

Antoid Robot Kit MR-1002

The Antoid MR-1002 walks forward with its six insect like legs detecting objects in its path as it moves. The Antoid can detect objects with its infrared eye. Once an object is detected, the Antoid robot will move to avoid it.To build this educational robot only basic hand tools (cutting pliers, small hammer, long nose pliers, and screwdriver) are required. The robot kit contains detailed instructions and educational background information on each component used and why. The kit will teach the fundamentals of sensor technology and show you how it all goes together. In fact, you'll feel like an engineer when you're done! Requires one 9volt and two AA batteries (not included).


Hydrazoid Robot Kit MR-1004

Hydrazoid Robot Kit MR-1004

The Hydrazoid Robot reacts to sound impulses such as hand clapping. Once the robot "hears" the sound, it moves forward for 15 seconds and then stops to await another sound command. LED's and illuminated fiber optic antennas give the Hydrazoid a cool alien appearance. Using only basic hand tools (cutting pliers, small hammer, long nose pliers, and small phillips screwdriver), assembling this kit will be educational, fun and safe. The Robot Kit contains detailed instructions and educational background information on each component used and why. The kit teaches the fundamentals of sensor technology and shows you how it all goes together. You'll feel like an engineer when you're done!


SoundTracker Robot MR-1001

SoundTracker Robot MR-1001

The SoundTracker Robot uses a simple sound sensor to detect sounds and obstacles. It will reverse away from the sound or obstruction, then race forward. To build this educational robot requires only basic hand tools (cutting pliers, small hammer, long nose pliers, and screwdriver).
