KIT CONTENTS

Dear Friend of Robots,

Today’s robots can handle all kinds of tasks: assembling cars 
or furniture, helping doctors, and even playing soccer. Usually, 
they are made of hard materials and wired with metal cables. 
But did you know that you can also make a soft and cuddly 
robot without hard metal or wires? This kit will help you 
invent your own glow-bot inspired by your own imagination. 
And the best thing about it: You can give him glowing eyes, 
warning lights, and buttons!
