Solios-Nova Solar Robot（15-IN-1)

This innovative kit has been a game-changer for kids who love to learn through hands-on experiences. It's not just a toy, but a dynamic tool that sparks imagination and encourages critical thinking. One of the things that sets it apart is the option to power the robots using solar energy, which adds a fascinating layer of learning about renewable energy. We've had some great conversations about the importance of harnessing the sun's power, and it's been amazing to see kids grasp the concept.

The kit's versatility is also a major plus. With a single set of components, kids can build multiple robots, from a solar-powered pup to a walking crab. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, making it easy for kids to get started. But what really keeps them engaged is the freedom to experiment and create their own designs. Watching kids troubleshoot and refine their ideas is a joy - it's amazing to see them develop problem-solving skills and confidence through hands-on learning. This kit has been a hit with kids who love to build and create, and it's a great way to encourage STEM learning in a fun and interactive way.

Last Saturday I opened two of these kits and worked with my granddaughters. We first built the head unit and got the little motor turning the gears and shaft (be careful to trim the nibs off the blue spacer otherwise it hangs up and the motor doesn't turn the gears smoothly). We built the boat robot and had races in the sink. Next time we'll do another robot. Lots and lots of Saturday fun ahead.

I got these robotic toy kits for two kids 6 and 8 years old. I have gotten a few robotic toy kits before, as the toy allows the kids to gain hands-on experience in assembling things and learn some basic concepts of science and engineering with adults' help. In this case, dual energy source from solar energy, and stored chemical energy from battery converted into mechanical energy to power the robot toy. Also the kids learn how gears and wheels work. The toy is a 15 in 1 set, and 15 different robots can be built, except disassembling is needed going from one to another (a negative). The kids will be awarded with a finished toy that they can play with. I do not expect the kids to complete all 15 versions as it will take a long time and disassembling one to go to another may break some parts. It would be good if they could try out a few interesting ones.

I do not expect kids to fully assemble them on their own. Usually, I got them and guided them and figured out the steps along the way. Taught them some things about mechanical and electrical concepts during the assembly to grow their interest and knowledge. It is not a one time thing and hopefully after a few toy assemblies, the kids will understand the concept, and how to assemble things better and better.

Just got this solar robot kit for my kid, and wow, it's been quite a ride! You can make 15 different robots, which is pretty cool. My 11-year-old loved it, but I had to help out a lot. The best part is how much it teaches kids about solar power and engineering. Plus, the parts are pretty tough - we didn't break anything while building.
It's not all smooth sailing though. This thing is tricky to put together with lots of small parts. You need super bright sun to make it work, which can be a bummer on cloudy days. I'd say it's probably too hard for younger kids to tackle on their own.
Overall, we had fun with it. It's great for kids who like building things and don't give up easily. Just be ready to lend a hand and maybe grab a pair of scissors to help get the parts out. If you're looking for a project to do with your kid and don't mind a challenge, give it a shot. Just maybe save it for a sunny weekend!

Love these types of toys, they provide hours of fun while at the same time being educational. Children in the younger age range would probably require some adult help while older ones less or none. That being said theres nothing that says adults can’t get involved because it is actually fun to do and gives quality time with the little one(s).
The different ways it can be assembled allows for variety and allows it to be used over and over again. It’s great fun for both young and old, very happy with it.
