DescriptionAn exciting, interactive kit that combines natural science with robotics, Robotic Gorilla teaches kids everything they want to know about gorillas--and even lets them build their own robotic gorilla!Gorillas are remarkable creatures and there is much we can learn from them. In fact, scientists are studying gorillas' special skills--walking, grabbing and using tools--to build highly specialized robots like Coco, a gorilla-bot named after the world's most famous gorilla, Koko. In Robotic Gorilla, young naturalists will be inspired to build their own moving robotic gorilla with glowing light-up eyes. Look out King Kong!
