Robot Summer Sale
Solar Robot Toys 20% Off
July means 20% off all solar robot toys and kits for the entire month at Robot City Workshop!
What kind of Solar Robot Toys and Kits?
We have about a dozen different solar powered robots and educational learning tools from which to choose. Here is a few of our most popular, entertaining bots in the store.
- Solar Mechanics
- 7 in 1 Solar Space Fleet
- 14 in 1 Educational Solar Robot
All of our DIY solar kits function under direct sunlight or a high power halogen lamp. They make excellent projects and the perfect summer toy.
How do these Solar Toys Work?
Energy brings our robots to a fun state of entertainment through a process called the photovoltaic effect.
When light hits the solar cells (also called photovoltaic cells) one of three things happen to the cool little particles of light called photons.
- Photons are reflected off the cell
- Photons pass directly through a cell
- Photons are absorbed into the cell
It is only during the last process where photons are absorbed into a cell that our awesome robots will benefit.
Once absorbed the photons give the electrons contained within the cell a little boost. Now they are free to leave and become part of the electric current running through the toys little wires and into the tiny motor.
This motor spins a gear which spins another and another and so on until zombie bots starts his zombie walk, wheel bot wheels away and boat bot swims for a sunny shore.
Put simply by one of our nine year old students attending the current summer camp,
“The sun gives it energy and it heats up this part and it makes it move.”
Exactly.
Which Solar Kit is our Favorite?
