4M Doodling Robot - Fun Mechanics

Not to be outdone by my Engineer husband, the kids and I decided to try our hands at this fun mechanics kit.  The instructions were simple to follow, and although our kids were a little on the small side for this kit, they were ecstatic with the final result and the doodles it was creating.

Simply attach the motor and the arms, hook up the battery, insert the felt pens (which are included in this kit), switch it on and away it goes.  It will need to be placed on a large sheet of paper on a flat surface, as it really gets into it's doodles.

Kit includes:

1 Baseplate
1 weight
bolts and nuts
screws
terminal caps
3 arm supports and 3 arm ends
pen holders
1 transparent cover
3 felt-tip pens
1 motor with wires
1 motor cover

Now that sounds really technical, but for those boys that love to tinker, this kit is perfect. Recommended for ages 8 and over.
