Safety Information

• Small Parts Warning: This kit contains small parts and is not suitable for children under 3 years old due to choking hazards. Adult supervision is recommended during assembly and play for all ages.
• Solar Panel Care: Do not expose the solar panel to extreme temperatures or direct impact. Avoid bending or scratching the solar cell surface.
• Battery Safety: If using a battery, ensure it is inserted with correct polarity. Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Remove batteries if the toy is not used for an extended period.
• Assembly Tools: Use appropriate tools (e.g., small pliers or cutters) carefully during assembly. Keep sharp edges away from skin.
• Water Use: Only use water-based models in shallow, clean water and under direct adult supervision. Ensure the motor and electrical components are properly sealed as per instructions for water operation.

Setup and Assembly

The KIDWILL Solar Robot Kit is designed for DIY self-assembly, offering a rewarding building experience. Follow the detailed, step-by-step blueprints provided in the included Assembly Instruction Manual for each of the 14 robot models.

Required Tools (Not Included):

• Small diagonal cutters or hobby knife for detaching plastic parts from sprues.

Assembly Steps:

1. Prepare Parts: Carefully detach all plastic components from their sprues using cutters. Ensure no rough edges remain.
2. Identify Components: Refer to the parts diagram in the manual to identify each piece.
3. Follow Blueprints: Select the robot model you wish to build and follow its specific assembly instructions precisely. Pay close attention to gear alignment and connection points.
4. Connect Wiring: Connect the motor and solar panel wires as indicated in the manual. Ensure secure connections.
5. Test Movement: After assembly, manually check that all gears and moving parts rotate freely before applying power.

Operating Instructions

Your KIDWILL Solar Robot Kit can be powered by two methods: solar energy or an optional AAA battery.

Solar Power Mode:

• Place the assembled robot in direct sunlight. The solar panel will convert sunlight into electrical energy to power the motor.
• Performance may vary depending on the intensity of sunlight. Optimal performance is achieved under bright, direct sunlight.

Battery Power Mode (Optional):

• Insert one (1) AAA battery (not included) into the designated battery compartment, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
• This mode allows the robot to operate indoors or in low-light conditions where solar power is insufficient.

Robot Movement:

Depending on the model built, your robot can exhibit various movements:

• Land Operation: Most models are designed to move on flat, smooth surfaces.
• Water Operation: Specific models, such as the 'Surf-bot' or 'Row-bot', are designed with unique accessories to move on water. Ensure all water-resistant components are correctly assembled and sealed before placing in water.

Exploring 14 Robot Models:

The kit provides parts and instructions to build 14 distinct robot configurations. Each model offers a unique challenge and demonstrates different mechanical principles. Examples include:

• Wagging-tail dog
• Running beetle
• Walking crab
• Surf-bot
• Zombie chaser

Refer to the Assembly Instruction Manual for detailed blueprints of all 14 models.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the robot and solar panel with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Storage: Store the kit and assembled robots in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
• Gear Inspection: Periodically check gears for any debris or wear that might impede smooth operation. Clean as necessary.
• Disassembly: If disassembling a robot to build another model, do so carefully to avoid damaging plastic parts or connections.
