Rebotz: Scootz - The Cranky Crawling Robot | Build a Wacky Motorized Robot!

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 are made of. 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 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. All of these robots are powered by battery-powered motors.

One of the highlights of the ReBotz collection is the crawling robot, which is cobbled together from two halves of an old pirate ship's wheel. This robot scoots along the floor on a repurposed iron and snow ski, demonstrating the power of cranks, cams, and motors in action. This robot is fast and easy to build, making it a great introduction to the world of the ReBotz.

Overall, the ReBotz line of robots offers a unique and engaging way for kids to learn about science, engineering, and creativity. By combining discarded materials into new and exciting creations, the ReBotz inspire young minds to think outside the box and explore the wonders of the mechanical world.
