What can you do with an empty soda can?

You can build a Soda Can Robug!  This kit included the parts to make the frame of the Robug - we just had to supply the soda can and 2 AA batteries.

After 35 minutes of putting together the tiniest screws and bolts I've seen, we had our Robug.  Here's a video of the action:   ** warning it's quite loud - so you might want to adjust your volume ***

What a fun kit for our little inventors!
