Say hello to the most adorable vacuum you’ve ever seen! Future robotics engineers build their own cleaning friend using the illustrated instructions. It’s easy for ages 8+ with help, or 12+ independently. With smart navigation including fall avoidance, a collision sensor, and an edge tracker, Dusty the robot vacuum will efficiently tidy up dust and debris from desktops or tabletops. This STEM kit teaches kids about motors, gear trains, and sensors through hands-on assembly and 2 included experiments. Requires 4 AAA batteries, not included.
