Teens from 14 and up (and even some younger kids) and adults can learn all about servos and gears and radio systems when they build this 300 part wheeled robotic vehicle from Revell. Once done building, the fun continues because the VEXplorer Modular Robotic System kit comes with add-ons like a claw for grabbing objects and a Spycam (with sound!) that can send images back to a TV or computer. It comes with a software disk containing complete assembly instructions as well as a 6-channel 2.4GHz radio system, color video camera and microphone, 6 tires and wheels, 4 servo motors, and pre-assembled modules for putting together and taking apart different configurations in a short amount of time.
