Review: So Much Fun For Kids and Adults - The Thames & Kosmos SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot STEM Experiment Kit is one of the best STEM building sets I have purchased. Not only can kids (and adults) follow the easy to read and understand building instructions, but they can learn about how solar power works, so they have a better understanding. These are fun solarbots to build and watch as they work in the bright sunlight or under a higher wattage light bulb. The only negative thing I can say about this kit is that you can only build one solarbot at a time, and then it has to be deconstructed to build the next and the next. I would like a kit where ALL of the solarbots can be built at the same time, so disassembly isn't necessary. Excellent for kids and adults, or kids and adults working side-by-side. Review: It was a big hit - I bought his for my grandson and he loves it! ## Features - Build and experiment with eight unique and fun solar-powered robots! - No batteries required — just a compact solar panel (included) and the energy from the sun! - Models include a drummer bot, tank bot, racer bot, big-wheel bot, solar bug, armadillo bot, spinning bot, and dinosaur bot. - Discover the current real-life applications of solar technology and its nearly limitless potential - Includes a 48-page full-color manual that guides solar power pioneers through model assembly and offers fun scientific facts ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B085P361MQ | | Age Range Description | 6+ | | Best Sellers Rank | #88,542 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #32 in Solar Power Kits | | Brand Name | Thames & Kosmos | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 391 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Learning | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00814743015265 | | Included Components | Plastic building pieces, solar panel, motor, manual | | Item Dimensions | 10 x 2.5 x 11 inches | | Item Type Name | Solar Power STEM Experiment Kit | | Item Weight | 6.72 ounces | | Manufacturer | Thames & Kosmos | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 360 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 72 | | Manufacturer Part Number | 665082 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 Year Warranty Against Manufacturer Defects | | Material Type | Plastic | | Model Number | 665082 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Set Name | 8-in-1 Solar Robot | | Size | Small | | Theme | Robotics | | UPC | 814743015265 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot STEM Experiment Kit - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91cL331SqML.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Set** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Why do none of my bots work? We build and leave them out in the direct hot sun for hours and absolutely nothing happens. What are we doing wrong?** A: Thank you for your interest in our SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot kit. I appreciate you reaching out to us. We would like to collect some additional details from you so that we can diagnose the issue and get your SolarBot working. At your convenience, we kindly ask you to reach out to us via the Customer Service and Replacement Parts link on our website so that a member of our Technical Support Team can follow up with you right away.

Kind regards, The Thames & Kosmos Technical Support Team **Q: What's the average size of the robots once complete?** A: Thank you for your question. Each robot is about 3.25 inches tall. **Q: do these robots work with artificial light? Could you play with them at night in a well-lit room?** A: Thank you for your question. The solar panel can be powered either by direct light from an incandescent bulb (not an LED or Energy saver bulbs) or direct sunlight. **Q: How long to charge** A: This kit does not charge, rather it operates only while in direct light. Because the solar panel is small, it can require a good amount of energy for sufficient output. We kindly recommend trying one of the following: (Outdoors) Direct light from the sun (indirect or cloud-covered sunlight will not work). (Indoors) Direct light from an incandescent bulb (not an LED or an energy saver bulb). ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So Much Fun For Kids and Adults *by C***2 on December 24, 2022* The Thames & Kosmos SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot STEM Experiment Kit is one of the best STEM building sets I have purchased. Not only can kids (and adults) follow the easy to read and understand building instructions, but they can learn about how solar power works, so they have a better understanding.

Excellent for kids and adults, or kids and adults working side-by-side. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was a big hit *by A***R on November 2, 2025* I bought his for my grandson and he loves it! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A worthwhile purchase! *by D***N on October 17, 2023* I bought this for my son and he likes it. He enjoys being able to construct the different devices. Very importantly, it had all the pieces - none was missing, as happens with similar STEM sets of Chinese origin. One important note, though, is that it works only in direct sunlight. Any shade or cloud cover renders the machines motionless. Nonetheless, it is a good training set for introduction to basic robotics for this age group. ## Frequently Bought Together - Thames & Kosmos SolarBots: 8-in-1 Solar Robot STEM Experiment Kit | Build 8 Cool Solar-Powered Robots in Minutes | No Batteries Required | Learn About Solar Energy & Technology | Solar Panel Included - Thames & Kosmos Mega Cyborg Hand STEM Experiment Kit | Build Your Own GIANT Hydraulic Amazing Gripping Capabilities Adjustable for Different Sizes Learn Pneumatic Systems - Thames & Kosmos WindBots 6-in-1 Engineering STEM Kit | Build 6 Wind-Powered Bots, No Batteries/Electricity Required | Explore Wind Technology, Gear Ratios & More | Full-Color Manual & Experiment Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pe/products/219086982-solarbots-8-in-1-solar-robot-stem-experiment-kit](https://www.desertcart.pe/products/219086982-solarbots-8-in-1-solar-robot-stem-experiment-kit) --- *Product available on Desertcart Peru* *Store origin: PE* *Last updated: 2026-08-21*
