Description:

In this corner, hailing from the rough-and-tumble robotics lab: It’s Robo-Boxer! And in that corner, the wonder from Down Under: Put your mitts together for Kangaroo-Bot!

Ding! Ding! Jab, dodge, uppercut! These boxing robots use hydraulic power to move like real boxers. Packed with the excitement of a boxing match and the fun of constructing incredible mechanical models, this kit allows you to build two boxing robots and challenge a friend to a match.

With complex shoulder gestures, two boxing punches (jab and uppercut), three waist postures, and interchangeable heads, these robots are designed to float like butterflies and sting like bees. Use the handheld hydraulic controls to fight like a champ. Knock your opponent robot’s head backward and score a point on the included scoreboard.

Learn about how these amazing machines and hydraulic systems work. Leave the rocking and socking to the lightweights — this awesome STEM kit really packs a punch!
