Space Nine

Space Nine solar crab with solar-powered battery charger

Toy: Space Nine crab robot

Constructor: TC Eley

Notes about assembly: The Space Nine assembly is pretty complex you need a few hours.

Other miscellaneous information: We tried to use one of our homemade solar arrays to build a solar powered battery charger for the Space Nine robot.  This proved very very challenging and requires yet more investigation.

Where to get your very own Space Nine robot crab: This “wireless remote-control arachnid” was purchased July 2009 from American Science and Surplus for around $40.
