  • Page 6: The Robot And Its Vehicles

    THE ROBOT AND ITS VEHICLES Hello! My name is Helio the solar bot. I live in Sun City because the sun shines here almost every day. That gives me the energy to experience lots of exciting adventures. I have the right vehicle for every purpose, which I would like to briefly introduce to you on this page.
  • Page 7 — Solar-Bots Wow! — Solar energy turns into movement! Now it's time to start building the models. The great thing is that all parts for all models are included. This allows your solar bot to switch from vehicle to vehicle in a matter of seconds. And when you're not playing with it, you can simply store the bot in the Orbit platform so that it doesn't accidentally drive away.
