MODELS

Important Information & Table of Contents Dear Parents, Teachers, and Other Supervising Adults, This kit offers additional parts for models and coding challenges for the Kids First Coding & Robotics Kit, which is required to build all the models and perform the coding activities.

Together with the base kit, this kit is designed to teach children the basic principles of programming in a fun, interactive, and experimental way.

This kit picks up where the base kit leaves off, offering more challenging builds with more technical features.

The coding lessons are presented as challenges that the child must attempt to solve before the answers are given.

We recommend you use this kit after your child has mastered the lessons in the base kit, or for children who are ready for a more difficult challenge.

With your help, children will build robots and program them to complete a specific challenge.

Children will likely need help from a parent or adult while using this product. They may need your help interpreting terms that are new to them. They may need your help assembling difficult models or programs. And they may need your help explaining what the robot is doing and why.

Safety Information

Warning! Not suitable for children under 3 years. Choking hazard — small parts and small ball may be swallowed or inhaled.

Keep the packaging and instructions as they contain important information.

Warning. Do not discharge an object other than the projectile provided with this toy.

This product requires the Kids First Coding & Robotics base kit. Refer to the safety information on the packaging and in the instructions for that kit.

Store the experiment material and assembled models out of the reach of small children.

Assembly Tips

PEGS AND CONNECTORS

Take a careful look at the different assembly components. Blue short pegs, pink axles, blue 20mm axle connectors, and gray 30mm axle connectors all look pretty similar at first glance. When you assemble the models, it's important to use the right ones.

CONNECTING FRAMES AND RODS

Use the short pegs to connect frames and rods.

Axles

The building system contains axles (also called shafts) of various lengths. When assembling the model, always be sure that you’re using the right one.

PEG REMOVER

If any of the building pieces are stuck together and too hard to separate with your bare hands, use the peg remover like a crowbar to pry them apart. Use the narrow end of the lever to remove the short pegs.

You can use the wide end to pry out axles.

PULLEYS AND GEARS

If pulleys or gears are mounted too tightly against other components, they can be hard to turn. If you leave a gap of about 1 mm between the gear or pulley and an adjacent component, it will turn easily.
