So Much Fun For Kids and Adults
The Thames & Kosmos SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot STEM Experiment Kit is one of the best STEM building sets I have purchased. Not only can kids (and adults) follow the easy to read and understand building instructions, but they can learn about how solar power works, so they have a better understanding. These are fun solarbots to build and watch as they work in the bright sunlight or under a higher wattage light bulb. The only negative thing I can say about this kit is that you can only build one solarbot at a time, and then it has to be deconstructed to build the next and the next. I would like a kit where ALL of the solarbots can be built at the same time, so disassembly isn’t necessary. Excellent for kids and adults, or kids and adults working side-by-side.

Very small but creative
My son was suppose to help my husband put it together but my Husband did it all pretty much, but my son liked it and was playing with non stop

Works well and fast
Built a bit alongside my 5 year old. Pieces were a bit difficult to break off. Be careful not to break the parts when removing. Bot went together well, instructions were easy to follow, bot went fast in the sun.

Awesome STEM SolarBots!
This SolarBot set was on sale, which spurred the purchase for my STEM-minded son. At six years old, theyâre a little too intricate for my son – so I do the assembly. But he loves watching and helping assemble the different builds, and each one works well. Each bot has different mechanical movements – his favorite is the rolling Armadillo.A bright bulb will get the bots moving during overcast days; but natural sunlight certainly works best! For $15-20, these SolarBot sets are well worth it.

Too many pieces to punch out
This has sat in the box for a week because my son doesn’t want to bother punching out the 100+ plastic pieces from the four mold frames and I don’t blame him. They are very difficult and painful to punch out. It will probably take me an hour to punch them all out. Super annoying, would not have bought if I realized this. Can’t yet report on how well the kit works. We’ll see if we even get there.

A disappointment
Our grandson previously enjoyed The Robot Factory by the same maker, so we thought the SolarBots would be fun. We spent an entire afternoon trying to put the motor together without success. The parts are tiny, flimsy, and complicated. The instructions are unclear and the drawings are not to scale or color. It was extremely frustrating. We put it together and took it apart many times. We spent hours without any success. We never got past trying to get the motor, which is an integral part of the Bots, to work.

A great learning experinece for kids
This solar toy definitely stands out from all other solar toys on the market. It’s tiny but amazing, and the color match are awesome. 8 different and unique forms deliver a super cool lessons . Once the building completes, wonderful feeling. Kids are exciting to see these robots move!
