Maker SHED

MAKE has featured several awesome robot projects over the years, and we're proud that Solarbotics has created a great parts bundle so you can build them! In this bundle you'll find all the electronic parts you need to build Mousey the Junkbot (MAKE Volume 02), Trimet (Volume 06), Solarroller (Volume 06), and Beetlebot (Volume 12). Get this bundle and save over $20 compared to buying these kits separately.

Please note: This kit includes the electronic components only -- the build instructions and other parts needed for each project can be found in the corresponding MAKE issues (which are not included) or in the free PDF provided here under the How-To tab.
