What do you get when you put colorful pens in the clutches of a buzzing, spinning robot? A SpinBot! With the MAKE: Spinbot Kit, you can build a triple-armed, pen- or chalk-grasping "robot" that spins in circles and draws elaborate geometric shapes while you watch.
Assembly is easy and takes about 30 minutes, making it a great parent-child project. While kids are having fun making colorful art, they'll learn about electronics and geometry. Each kit includes laser-cut acrylic parts, rubber bands, a motor, battery holder, and power switch. All you need to start making robotic art are batteries, pens, and paper.
The kit is the brainchild of Christopher Myers and Anne Mayoral who form ArtBot Toys, a company that aims to introduce kids to science and technology. Chris and Anne have attended multiple Maker Faires, where their SpinBots never fail to draw a crowd.
WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD. Small parts not suitable for children under 3 yrs.
