Rebotz: Knox - The Wacky Walking Robot - Educational Building Toys for Kids 6+

In the world of the ReBotz, old tech and discarded junk are given new life. This squad of four loveable robot pals springs into action from a heap of junkyard parts. A cracked smartphone, a forgotten waffle iron, a beat-up skateboard, some old skis - these are the materials that the ReBotz use to create their unique and wacky robotic creations.

Quickly piece together a motorized model of each ReBot from a set of easy-to-assemble parts. Then, switch them on and watch how each robot moves in a unique and wacky way. Collect all four kits and mix up the interchangeable parts to make your own rebooted robotic creations. These science-fiction models provide an opportunity for some real science lessons.

Conduct experiments with the different simple machines and mechanisms that make the robots move, including cams, springs, sliders, cranks, motors, wheels, and levers. Learn how these different mechanisms make the robot models move in fun ways. Mix and match the parts from different kits to make your own wacky robotic creations that look like they're made from recycled parts.

One of the ReBotz, a speed-walking model, is pieced together from a tennis racket, hammer, and the rear wheels of a tricycle. Knock, knock, knocking on wooden floors - this ReBot is powered by a battery-operated motor and demonstrates the use of wheels, slider cranks, and motors in action. It's a fast and easy-to-build robot that showcases the innovative and creative spirit of the ReBotz.

Overall, the ReBotz provide an engaging and educational experience for young learners. They encourage experimentation with various mechanisms and the creation of unique robotic designs using recycled materials. Through these hands-on activities, children can develop their problem-solving skills, creativity, and understanding of simple machines and mechanisms.
