## Overview

The Thames & Kosmos Kids First Robot Factory kit is an introductory STEM experiment set designed for children aged 5 and up. It includes large plastic building pieces, a battery-powered motor box, and a 32-page illustrated storybook manual guiding kids to build 8 different motorized robots. This hands-on kit develops fine motor skills, mechanical engineering understanding, and visual-spatial reasoning through playful, story-driven model building.

## Description

Watch out — robots gone rogue! In this new adventure in the Kids First early engineering series, the Omega family takes a trip to a robot factory where the robots have gotten a little out of control. One by one, the wacky, motorized robots are fixed up and put back into working order, with the help of the Omegas — and you! As you follow along with the 32-page illustrated storybook manual, you’ll build working models of the eight different classic robots and experiment with them to see how each one uses the battery-powered motor, gears, and other mechanical parts to move its arms or legs in a different, funny, zany way. Through building and experimenting, kids get a unique look at how simple mechanical systems work. Large, cubic plastic building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models together. Robot Factory provides an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young children, allowing parents, teachers, and caregivers to lay the groundwork for strong STEM-related skills and comprehension at an early age. Model building and experiments develop fine motor skill, mechanical engineering skills, visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills.

Review: Great gift - Great gift for my six year old nephew! He loved it.
Review: Was hoping this was more of a challenge than it turned out to be - Very basic and fell apart easily when set in motion. My daughter is 7 and was excited to build her first robot. She was able to understand how to, so I appreciated the ease of the instructions, but it was almost too simple.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: The pieces in the kits are interchangeable?**
A: Hi there,

Many of our construction and engineering kits have interchangeable parts. Some of our Kids First kits include bulkier parts for younger children. Please contact support@thamesandkosmos.com for information about compatibility between parts in specific sets.

Kind regards,
Thames and Kosmos Technical Support

**Q: We are stuck on the cat. Is there a step by step video to build these robots? The directions don’t make sense and I’m an adult!**
A: Hi. I'm sorry to hear that you are stuck. While we don't have video instructions for this model, you can access the online manual (which allows you to zoom in and get a closer look) at https://thamesandkosmos.com/manuals/full/567014_Robot_Safari_Manual.pdf   

If you're still having trouble, please reach out to support@thamesandkosmos.com with some additional information (what step you're unsure about and a photo of your model) and we'll follow up with some troubleshooting for you.

**Q: Do these move on theirmi u own?  Or does the kid push it?**
A: In the box it includes a motor box, if you add batteries & assembled per instructions it will move on its own. Don't put it in water.

**Q: Are the batteries and motor supposed to get really hot when using for short periods of time? We took out the batteries but they were too hot to touch.**
A: Thank you for your question. The only time we've ever experienced this is when the end-user accidentally inserts the batteries in the wrong polarity, causing a short circuit. Please reach out to us via the Support tab on our website and a member of our Technical Support Team can follow up with you.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great gift
*by K***I on March 4, 2026*

Great gift for my six year old nephew! He loved it.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was hoping this was more of a challenge than it turned out to be
*by M***6 on January 24, 2026*

Very basic and fell apart easily when set in motion. My daughter is 7 and was excited to build her first robot. She was able to understand how to, so I appreciated the ease of the instructions, but it was almost too simple.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great toy for the little one
*by E***I on June 4, 2024*

The diagrams are not 100% intuitive at first, but if you stare at them long enough they’ll become second nature. So you do have to be a little patient at first. I spent a long time looking for something like this; I want the little one to get a knack for assembling and disassembling and improving dexterity creativity and problem solving. Infinitely better than having them watch TV. And it kills a lot of time. As the inflation runs rampant in our economy, I can’t help but think this is a decent price to pay for such a great product that got me valuable time with my kid. It’s fun for sure, quality isn’t bad at all. Naturally the kid lost like ten parts so I have to order the replacements :)
