## Description

Ready your courageous robots for a mission to the moon, Mars, or beyond! With this engineering kit, you can build a remote-controlled model of a robotic Rover resembling the ones used to explore Mars. Deploy your Mars rover in the backyard or sandbox and use the remote control unit to survey the uncharted terrain! The remote can control up to three motors, which move the Rover back and forth, turn the wheels to steer the Rover, and control the robotic arm to pick up extraterrestrial specimens like small rocks. This one-piece construction set includes instructions to build not only the robot Rover, but nine additional space-themed models as well, including: a lunar Rover, rocket launcher car, space shuttle with opening and closing cargo bay doors, robotic space shuttle payload arm, moon lander, wacky Astronaut, satellite, Mars station, and cross-wing flyer. Kids will be inspired to learn various STEM skills through these fun, hands-on construction projects that bridge two captivating interest areas: robots and outer space. A full-color, 64-page step-by-step illustrated manual helps kids assemble all of the models and teaches them about real-world examples of the outer space robots, vehicles and devices They are creating. Read about the various technical features of the Mars curiosity Rover. Learn about the history of Mars exploration, robotics in satellites, deep-space exploration, and the robots in popular space-related science fiction. This kit is perfect for every kid who is fascinated by the prospects of being an astronaut, colonizing the Moon, or being the first human to land on Mars. - a parents' Choice Gold award winner.ngss correlations: 2-ps1-3 structure and properties of Matter, k-2-ets1-2 K-2.Engineering design, 3-ps2-1 forces and interactions, 3-ps2-2 forces and interactions, 4-ps3-1 energy, 4-ps3-4 energy.

Review: This company is fabulous and so are their toys! - This is the 5th product I have purchased from Thames & Kosmos. My kids love their building toys. The kids even end up creating their own machines after they have built some following the instructions. My only complaint is that a few of their pieces are made too thin and tend to snap and break. But I just call the company or email them and ask for replacements and they send them out for free with no hastle. I Highly recommend anything from this company!
Review: Good - Bought this for 7 YO grandson for Christmas. He’s a pro at lego sets, and did not need much help with this set. I sat and helped him only because some of the pieces were hard to snap together. The instructions were ok, not as good as lego that he is used to, but he got the machine together without incident. The only negative is the battery pack for the remote control was broken, and not usable to use ... this was disappointing for him :(
