Then test and configure it to get it working perfectly. Load your vending machine with all kinds of small candies or prizes and you’re in business! Insert some coins and have fun watching them get sorted, perform stunts as they slide down the tracks, dispense prizes, and finally end up in the coin bank in the base of the machine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eThis awesome vending machine has four main interactive segments: First, you insert coins (quarters, dimes, nickels, and pennies) into the slot at the top and turn a knob to sort the coins.

Next, the coins fall into a device that allows you to make your “purchase” with the push of a button.

Build a line-following sports car with underglow and gullwing doors that open upon reaching your destination, a basketball arcade that can keep score, a transforming robot, and so much more. This pack is all about programming with color in mind: From the amazing RGB LED that adds an array of colors to any robot, to a color sensor which lets you sort objects by hue, there's a rainbow of options included. Not only that, the pack also includes two versatile infrared sensors, which can either be set to digital or analog modes. Digital infrared lets your robots make quick decisions, following lines you draw with both speed and accuracy. Analog infrared gives you the tools to sense distance and disruption, working like an automatic gate or faucet to move without needing touch input. With all these new sensors, there are more than a dozen new models to create, and infinite opportunities to create your own.

The engine intakes pressurized air from the tank, which pushes the piston forward. The piston knocks against the valve, releasing air into the cylinder, which pushes the piston down, rotating the rear axle of the car.

This flower will never wilt, and you will never run out of batteries; it runs whenever the sun shines on it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eProduct Information\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAges: 8+\u003cbr\u003eExperiments: 4\u003cbr\u003ePiece Count: 114\u003cbr\u003eManual Pages: 24 \u003cbr\u003eProduct Dimensions: 7.3 x 11 x 3.5 in.\u003cbr\u003eProduct Weight: 1.3 lbs.\u003cbr\u003eManual Dimensions: 5.5 x 8.3 in.\u003cbr\u003eBatteries Required: N\/A\u003cspan data-sheets-userformat='{\"2\":13059,\"3\":{\"1\":0},\"4\":{\"1\":2,\"2\":14281427},\"11\":3,\"12\":0,\"15\":\"Arial\",\"16\":9}' data-sheets-value='{\"1\":2,\"2\":\"CR2032 coin cell (2)\"}' style=\"font-size: 9pt; font-family: Arial; font-weight: normal; font-style: normal;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCountry of Origin: Taiwan\u003cbr\u003eYear Released: 2026\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/1u7B8PnRRhYgiJ5XG31VShmyZ-dePleMb\/view?usp=drivesdk\" title=\"Download Instruction manual for SolarFlower Golden Sunrise\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Manual (PDF)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/550075-GoldenSolarFlower-Images-021326.zip?v=1780594277\" title=\"Download Hi-Res images of Solar Flower Golden Sunrise\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDownload Hi-Res Images (ZIP)\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n\u003cscript src=\"moz-extension:\/\/32b56146-f42e-4dfb-aec7-5a766b1beb7e\/inject-scripts\/searchvideos.js\" async=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thames \u0026 Kosmos","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45264772726841,"sku":"550075","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0104\/6331\/3977\/files\/550075-GoldenSolarFlower-3DboxFront_b95718df-302d-4e73-b136-8117c333a7a4.jpg?v=1771001605"},{"product_id":"orbital-3d-maze","title":"Orbital Maze","description":"\u003ch5\u003eProduct Description\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEmbark on a hands-on, space-themed adventure with this mind-bending three-dimensional maze that you build yourself!

Reach the maze’s finish — the spacecraft’s “Mission Capsule” — to succeed. But watch out: if it falls to the bottom of the maze instead, you’ll have to reattempt your mission.
