Going up, up and up! Bring your robotic and engineering skills to new heights with the Geckobot!

Ever wonder how a gecko walks up glass doors without falling? Now kids can build their own gravity-defying robot and find out! This motorized climbing machine uses suction cup feet and clever engineering to scramble up walls, windows, and smooth surfaces just like its reptilian inspiration.

As you put together this multi-legged marvel, you'll get an inside look at how electric circuits work, from the motor that makes it move to the battery that powers it all. So once this Gecko is built, that's where the real fun begins: testing different surfaces to see where your Geckobot climbs best, and discovering the science behind suction cups and air pressure that make the whole thing possible!

The 16-page color manual walks you through every step of construction with clear illustrations, plus explains the physics and engineering principles that bring your robot to life. It's engineering education disguised as pure fun.

Key Features:

  • Gravity-Defying Action: Motorized robot climbs up, down, and around smooth vertical surfaces using suction cup technology
  • Complete Circuit Learning; Build and understand a working electric circuit with motor, battery, and switch components
  • Hands-On Engineering: Assembly process teaches mechanical principles through direct experience with gears and moving parts
  • Surface Testing Fun: Experiment with different materials to discover optimal climbing conditions
  • Fine Motor Skill Development: Detailed construction improves dexterity and mechanical understanding
  • Updated Design: Refined tooling and improved functionality for easier assembly and better performance
  • Complete Learning Package: 16-page full-color manual with step-by-step instructions and science explanations
