Build your own Water Robot! Watch it swim as sunlight hits its solar panels. When there’s no sun, it moves using batteries. Read the fun facts included in the instructions and learn entertaining information about hybrid energy systems.
OPERATION: When the sun's rays hit the solar collector (panel), the solar cells in the panel convert some of the light energy into electricity. The electric current flows from the cells to the motor, setting it in motion. When the switch is moved to the 'battery' position, the electric current from the battery flows to the motor. The gears in the gearbox reduce the speed of the motor to a lower speed for the wheeled paddles. The paddle wheels push the water backwards, making the robot move forward.
