You can't start 'em too young in the competitive robotics games, we always say. This kit requires no soldering, but the result is a honey of an 8-legged lunar rover, sort of a wireless remote-control arachnid. Includes a pre-wired circuit board for the infrared remote and wiring harnesses for the motors and batteries. The case is translucent red and yellow plastic and the whole robotic shebang will measure 6" x 6" x 5" when finished. Has (8) 4-part articulated legs, and (4) switchable channels, so you can operate your bot with (3) others on the same surface. Includes a good 13pp manual, requires minimal tools for assembly and a total of (4) "AA" and (4) "AAA" batteries, which you supply. The manufacturer doesn't list an appropriate age (other than warning that 3-year-olds can eat the parts) but we think any crafty 9- to 99-year-old could handle the task.
