RECYCLED ROBOTS
MALONE, ROBERT
Robots and kids: a perfect combination. From R2-D2 to the Transformers to WALL-E, robots are a source of
endless fascination. Now comes an irresistible book and kit that shows how to make ten different robots—that
move—out of the most ordinary things from around the house. By delivering an experience that’s so much richer
than putting together a model, this book gets to the essence of creativity and imaginative problem-solving and
shows how to be an inventor, designer, and engineer all in one. Created by robot expert Robert Malone,
chairman of the Automation Hall of Fame, the plans are ingenious and include a materials list (rounding it up is
like a treasure hunt!) plus step-by-step directions illustrated with detailed, full-color photographs. The kit includes
all the essential accessories: a battery-operated motor and two windup walkers, plus templates, dowels, beads,
wire, mounting squares—and googly eyes.
