“Recycled Robots: 10 Robot Projects by Robert Malone and published by Workman Publishing ($24.95) is an irresistible book and kit that shows how to make ten different moving robots out of the most ordinary things from around the house such as an empty salt container, a drinking straw, a candy tin, a cereal box, cardboard tubes, old dolls or action figures, and assorted Lego or Tinker Toy parts.
The kit includes a full book of instructions, along with a battery-powered motor, two wind-up walkers, some googly eyes (it just wouldn’t be complete without googly eyes), and much more. What kid won’t love being the inventor, designer and engineer of his or her own amazing, moving robots??? . . .”—Broadway Books, Portland
