Lego Gear Bots

Axles, kinetics, and cranks, oh my! Build 8 physics-driven bot creatures, using LEGO technic bricks, papercraft, and many principles of engineering. You supply the enthusiasm!

Build STEM-driven models, such as DJ Bubbles (an octopus spinning records), a pterodactyl, a yeti, and much more! Kinetic sculptures, or automata, are mechanically engineering toys that move when you crank the handle on the side. They move through a series of axles, cams, and cranks that work like the pistons in an engine. Each model includes a papercraft character that you fold and link with LEGO elements.
