What's the "Recycle-Bot"?
Our "Recycle-Bot" is a simple yet fascinating robot that skitters across the floor, avoiding obstacles with the help of two metal antenna-like switches. When one of these switches gets triggered by an obstacle, the robot cleverly spins away, thanks to its ingenious motor setup. No wheels? No problem! The motor shafts are wrapped in heat shrink tubing, increasing friction and allowing this robot to glide over surfaces with ease.

Why Should Your Child Build the "Recycle-Bot"?
STEM Learning: Building the "Recycle-Bot" is not just play. It's a valuable STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) learning experience that teaches the fundamentals of mechanical design, electronics, and physics.
Problem-Solving Skills: As your child assembles and tweaks their robot, they'll learn essential problem-solving skills. Understanding how to make the robot navigate around obstacles translates to overcoming challenges in real life.
Creativity and Innovation: By using recycled materials, children learn that innovation doesn't always require brand new parts. Sometimes, the most creative solutions come from reimagining the use of everyday objects.
Hands-On Experience: There's no substitute for hands-on learning. Building the "Recycle-Bot" gives kids the opportunity to work with real tools and components, fostering a sense of accomplishment and technical skill.
Sustainability Mindset: In a world that's becoming increasingly aware of the need for sustainability, this project teaches kids the importance of recycling and repurposing materials in fun and interactive ways.
