To make them all go, the kit also includes the pieces to build a hand-powered wind generator. As you build and experiment, you will learn about how gears transmit power and torque. Also learn about wind as a power-generating technology — past, present, and future. Review: It was a hit! - I got this for my grandson and it was a hit!!! Review: Super complex - The directions take a good amount of thought power and figuring out. Kids definitely need an adult to help. Tons of small parts, so have a good blade ready to get the pieces out and a good open space to work. This is a great activity, but make sure to set aside a heafty amount of time to do it with your kids. The robot is super cute. ## Features - Build 6 wind-powered models and a handheld wind generator to explore one of the oldest power sources in the world: wind! - Models include a Surf Bot, Walker Bot, Drill Dozer, Quadruped, Flying Machine, and Big Wheel Tricycle. - Pieces snap together easily and require no glue. - A 52-page, full-color manual includes step-by-step illustrated assembly instructions and information about wind technology, gear ratios, and how gears trasmit power and torque. - No batteries or electricity required! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09QH51C7K | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #116,053 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #1,093 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | Thames & Kosmos | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 98 Reviews | | Educational Objective | STEM | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814743016934 | | Included Components | Plastic building pieces, gears, metal screws, metal rods, foam parts, 2 fan blades | | Item Dimensions | 7.3 x 3.9 x 11 inches | | Item Type Name | STEM Experiment Kit | | Item Weight | 14.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Thames & Kosmos | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 192 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 96 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 550047 | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 550047 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | WindBots 6-in-1 Wind-Powered Machine Kit | | Size | 7.3 x 3.9 x 11 inches | | Theme | Robotics | | UPC | 814743016934 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![Thames & Kosmos WindBots 6-in-1 Engineering STEM Kit | Build 6 Wind-Powered Bots, No Batteries/Electricity Required | Explore Wind Technology, Gear Ratios & More | Full-Color Manual & Experiment Guide - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/7112BY3LE7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a hit! *by A***R on November 2, 2025* I got this for my grandson and it was a hit!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super complex *by S***E on January 1, 2024* The directions take a good amount of thought power and figuring out.
