FAQs
How do I clean the robot parts?
Use a damp cloth to wipe down the plastic parts. Avoid using harsh chemicals or excessive water.
What happens if a part breaks?
Contact the manufacturer for replacement parts, or try to use glue to fix the part. Make sure the glue is kid-safe.
Can I use batteries instead of solar power?
No, the kit is designed to run exclusively on solar power and water hydraulics. Batteries are not needed or supported.
How long does it take to build a robot?
Assembly time varies depending on the complexity of the model and the builder's experience. It may take from 1 to 3 hours.
What age group is this kit suitable for?
The kit is recommended for children aged 8 and older. Adult supervision may be required for younger builders.
Can I disassemble and rebuild the robots?
Yes, the robots are designed to be disassembled and rebuilt, allowing for endless hours of fun and learning.
Where can I find replacement parts?
Check the manufacturer's website or contact customer support for replacement parts.
How does the hydraulic system work?
The hydraulic system uses water pressure to move the robot's parts. Pumping water into a closed system creates pressure, which drives the movement.
Troubleshooting
Robot does not move
Check solar panel placement, ensure it's in direct sunlight. Also, check the hydraulic connections for leaks and correct water levels.
Weak hydraulic movement
Ensure the hydraulic system is properly filled with water. Check for any air bubbles in the system, and bleed them out if necessary.
Solar panel not working
Ensure the solar panel is clean and free of obstructions. Test in direct sunlight. If issues persist, check connections.
Parts not fitting together
Double-check the instructions to ensure you are using the correct parts and that they are aligned properly. Some parts may require firm pressure to connect.
