The FlitterBug represents the low end of the ecosystem totem-pole:  the single-cell robot which creates energy from light to power a small motor.  Once there, try directing that energy in a swimming, rolling, walking, shaking, or spinning robotic life form!

Take your FlitterBug to a sunny place and watch your motor come to life!  Once you’ve got your fusion powered motor going, get out the hot glue, pipe cleaners, and imagination to create all kinds of robotic phytoplankton!

The FlitterBug is designed as an introductory robotic/electronic "craft kit."  This kit is perfect for those just starting out in electronics and for those who wish to experiment with different mediums to make a unique form of "electronic art".  It's also the perfect kit to get girls involved in robotics!
