New book coming soon: LEGO Gear Bots

If you like activity books with a more or less educational vocation, know that the publisher Klutz offers this year the box "Lego gear bots", a 64-page book accompanied by 62 LEGO elements which will allow, from August 1, to assemble 8 different kinetic models and to discover the joys of transmission by cranks, axles and other cams.

Those who have heard of the LEGO FORMA set 81000 Koi or who own a copy of the animated carp marketed in 2018 via a crowdfunding campaign and then destocked in 2019 via the official online store will find here some mobile creatures in the same spirit.

The box contains only about sixty plastic pieces and pours a little into origami with a slew of paper elements that come to dress the different models offered. Everyone knows that paper is less resistant to the test of time and handling than plastic and it will therefore be necessary to be very careful and organized to be able to take advantage of the models offered in this new box beyond a first assembly.

This is not the first box of this type to be offered by this publisher, other similar products with a more or less questionable educational interest have been marketed in the past and I gave you my opinion in 2018 on the French version of one of these works accompanied by some parts.

There is undoubtedly something here to have a little fun for the youngest by discovering some mechanical principles, but the experience will cost you a little more than 23 euros. It's up to you.
