With the Remote-Control Machines set, kids can build motorized vehicles and machines and control them with a wireless remote control unit. It comes with a 48-page manual that guides kids in the building process. Each of the steps in building the models is accompanied by explanations of the operating principles covering each of the components—remote control, gears, and batteries. The language in the guidebook makes complex ideas accessible to kids.
The six-button infrared, touchpad remote allows kids to control three motors simultaneously, moving each of them forward or in reverse. The three motors can be combined to make complex vehicles and machines in numerous configurations.
Assemble ten models demonstrating different ways in which the motors can be used including a bulldozer, car, three-wheeler, crane, antique car, plow, folding car, formula one racer, three-blade dozer, and robotic arm.
The kit comes with three motors, remote control unit, battery holder, and building blocks. The 182 building pieces included in this set are compatible with those in all Thames & Kosmos Construction Series kits, Physics Series kits, wind power kits, and Hydropower kits.
