Scorpio Bot is a fun and interactive non-programmable robot designed to help kids understand motor-based movement and basic circuits through hands-on learning. Inspired by a scorpion’s tail action, this robot raises and lowers a thread when powered, clearly showing how electrical energy converts into motion.
Children build Scorpio Bot using simple components and connect the circuit to a motor. Once powered, the motor pulls and releases the thread, creating an up-and-down movement. This visible action makes it easy for learners to understand cause and effect, proper connections, and how motors work.
With no programming or screens involved, Scorpio Bot keeps learning simple and engaging. It is ideal for beginners who are just starting their robotics journey and want to explore motion before moving on to sensors or coding-based robots.
Through building and experimenting with Scorpio Bot, kids learn:
How motors work
How simple circuits control movement
How mechanical motion can be created using threads
Basic problem-solving and hands-on skills
Scorpio Bot is perfect for young learners, schools, STEM workshops, and home learning, making it a great addition to the Funobotz non-programmable robot collection.
Build it. Power it. Watch the tail move—and learn how robots work.
