Robot Kits
Solarbotics started as a company specializing in kits based on BEAM technology, which meant building simple, effective devices using (often) strange ways. We learned early on that the documentation is not something to do poorly, so you'll find that our kits come with very complete instructions with many, many photos.
We use quality components, and clever circuit board design to make your build as successful as possible. Our 100% satisfaction guarantee ensures you that if you have any trouble with your project, call us toll-free for assistance. If need be, we'll even fix your project free-of-charge!
