Have a blast with this awesome engineering project! Construct an air-powered robotic glove that launches safe foam darts. Learn about pneumatics — technologies that use pressurized air to perform work — and many cool mechanisms as you assemble the blaster from over 100 pieces.
After you’ve built and tested your blaster, slide it on and strap it to your wrist. The first pull of the trigger causes the scissor arm to lift up the barrels and launch the first dart. Pull the trigger two more times to launch the next two darts. Grab some additional darts from the reserve clip under your wrist and reload. The blaster is entirely powered by your hand and the amazing pneumatic system — no batteries or motors required!
Turn the dial to rotate the two outer launchers for a wider spread. Adjust the location of the wrist strap to fit almost all hands. A full-color, step-by-step manual guides you through assembling and using the blaster and provides fascinating scientific information about pneumatic systems and the physics of air. Compatible with many standard foam darts.
• Build a pneumatic glove that launches foam darts • Learn about pneumatics and the physics of air pressure. • Barrels raise and lower and rotate outward and inward
• Adjust to fit almost any hand size. • Compatible with many standard foam darts • High play value, even after initial construction is complete

Assemble your own BIG hydraulic hand using over 200 plastic pieces, fill the piston tubes with water, and adjust it to fit your own hand. The hydraulic pistons enable the fingers to open and close, and to grip objects with enough force to lift them. The hand can be configured in three ways by changing the position of the thumb: left hand, right hand, and claw-like (with the thumb in the center). No motors, no batteries—just the power of air pressure, water, and your own hands!

Build a powerful robotic bulldozer and sleek handheld wireless controller. Then use the controller to command your robot to move around in all directions, play sounds, and light up its cab roof lights. The special Code+Control wireless unit enables you to either directly control your Robo Dozr in real time, or write and save sequences of commands for the robot to perform at the push of a button. No app or separate devices are required! With LED lights, a speaker, two motors, flexible tracks, a truck bed, and a hefty bulldozer blade, the Robo Dozr is packed with power and ready for action.
First, follow the step-by-step instructions to assemble the robot and controller from more than 100 pieces using the included screwdriver and decorate your completed dozer with stickers. Then, learn the function of each button on the controller and how to combine those functions together into programs for your robot. Finally, you can try out the suggested experiments to learn more about how the robot works.
How many objects can your dozer’s blade push around? What surfaces can its gripping tracks crawl over? How much weight can you haul in its truck bed? The Robo Dozr makes hands-on STEM learning fun and accessible. Build your experience in mechanical engineering as you assemble the robot. Discover the various electrical components found inside a robot. Learn how continuous tracks work and read about the vehicles and robots that use them. Build, code, and play — with the mighty Robo Dozr!
