Ready your courageous robots for a mission to the moon, Mars, or
beyond! With this engineering kit, 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 extraterrestrial specimens
like small rocks. This one-piece construction set includes
instructions to build not only the robot Rover, but nine
additional space-themed models as well, including: a lunar Rover,
rocket launcher car, space shuttle with opening and closing cargo
bay doors, robotic space shuttle payload arm, moon lander, wacky
Astronaut, satellite, Mars station, and cross-wing flyer. 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. A full-color, 64-page
step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble all of the
models and teaches them about real-world examples of the outer
space robots, vehicles and devices They are creating. Read about
the various technical features of the Mars curiosity Rover. Learn
about the history of Mars exploration, robotics in satellites,
deep-space exploration, and the robots in popular space-related
science fiction. This kit is perfect for every kid who is
fascinated by the prospects of being an astronaut, colonizing the
Moon, or being the first human to land on Mars. - a parents'
