Ideal for eco-conscious families seeking educational, hands-on fun that fosters engineering skills and parent-child collaboration.

## Description

Turn a metal can into a walking, wobbling, bog-eyed robot that can move. It can be transformed to become a robotic monster too. Cans can be cool! Kit includes parts and instructions, just add a "can" do attitude. Watch your child's delight and sense of accomplishment with the robot they create. Great for the "science" enthusiast in your family. Requires two AAA batteries (not included). Recommended for 8 years and up.

Review: Wasn’t sure about this one. Needed it for a school project for my 2nd grader. There were a lot of parts. But after following the directions and taking our time we got it together. After a couple alterations she turned it into a robotic dog. What a great kit!! A bit much for a child to build on their own. Needs parent participation.
Review: The kids loved it. Worked on it. Built it. Played with it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Would this project be good for a 7-year-old girl?**
A: No! My nearly 50 year old husband had to help my 11year old son because nothing was pre-threaded for the screws. No screwdrivers were included and we broke a jeweler's screwdriver trying to get one of the screws in place. This seems fun to play with once assembled, but this is an adult project. The instructions are not clear at all. This was a gift and I do Not recommend for anyone under 18.

**Q: Does this have to be a tin can? Most soda cans are aluminum.**
A: Yes, the can MUST be at least 97.6% tin, or it won't work.

**Q: What is my purpose?**
A: Nobody can tell you that, Little Timmy. It is a privilege and obligation that you must discharge yourself.

**Q: does the 4M Tin Can Cable Car automaticly reverse and how fast does it move?**
A: If you assemble it correctly it will automatically reverse once it reaches the end.  It doesn't move very fast.

### ⭐ Review
*by R***Y on 25 December 2025*

A terrible build. The instructions are awful. A cog came broken so that it needed to be glued back together. Definitely not something an 8 year old could do without a massive amount of adult support. In fact my husband built it himself as just too complicated for my child. Throughly disappointing
