Picture of productAttacking Inch Worm Mini Solar Robot Kit
from OWI Robots




Dangerous? Youve got to be kidding me? An inch worm?... Attacking Inch worm has orange spiky limbs to ward off any predator who seeks to challenge it as a delectable delight. Its initial defensive mechanism may fool intruders for a moment, but still requires a way to heed out of harms way. The suns rays power this mini solar kit to slither along to safety. The mechanical movements simulate the movements of its soft-bodied derivative. Because its home is above ground, Attacking Inch Worm has a hard plastic body to protect itself. This slender creeping animal is the next logical kit if you have already assembled the Super Solar Racing Car (OWI-MSK671) or the Frightened Grasshopper (OWI-MSK670). It demonstrates alternative energy principles. No batteries required and less than fifty parts to assemble. Catalog number: 46508. Brand: OWI Robots. Brand's Part Number: OWI-MSK673.

Picture of productAmphibious Solar Vehicle Robot Kit
from OWI Robots




It's street tough, water ready and solar powered. It would be difficult to find a beginner robotic kit more fun and educational than the Amphibious Solar Vehicle! This kit introduces fundamentals of solar power through hands-on experiments. The sun or any intense mobile light can power the solar cell (included). A multiple function switch (solar [1.4 volt, 350mA] or battery) allows this kit to be energized day or night, indoors or outdoors. Its scientifically structured catamaran design reduces water resistance, thus reducing the possibility of capsizing. The user can explore different types of energy conversion with this land and water vehicle. Learn what materials solar cells are made from and the characteristics of solar cells, advantages and disadvantages of solar power. Catalog number: 16535. Brand: OWI Robots. Brand's Part Number: OWI-688. Requires one AA batteries, not included.

Picture of productSolar Car Assembly
from Tamiya




Using the Solar Car Assembly is a great way to experiment with gear ratios and the angle and intensity of solar light. With three gear ratios, high speed (1.7:1), mid speed (2.2:1), and low speed (3.4:1), you can see the difference gear ratios make under different conditions. The ball-mounted solar panel allows you to angle the panel towards or away from the sun, showing how direct and indirect solar light can affect power. Experiment under a variety of conditions (sunny, cloudy, etc.) and different gear ratios. Catalog number: 23697. Brand: Tamiya. Brand's Part Number: 76001.
