WindBots: 6-in-1 Wind-Powered Machine Kit

• Build six kinetic machines that run on wind power—no batteries, no plugs, just pure mechanical ingenuity

• Assemble a big-wheel tricycle, quadruped walker, soaring machine, drilling monster, walking robot, and a wind-powered yacht

• Generate your own airflow with the included hand-powered wind generator—crank, aim, and watch your builds come alive

• 200+ snap-fit parts and a step-by-step, full-color manual make complex builds approachable for budding engineers

• Learn by doing: explore gear ratios, torque transmission, and aerodynamics, plus how wind has powered tech past, present, and future

• Sturdy, reconfigurable components encourage iterate-and-test engineering habits and classroom-friendly repeat use

• Ideal for STEM clubs, classrooms, and at-home builders seeking hands-on energy and mechanics exploration
