## Description

Product Description Transform a used soda pop can into a bug-eyed robot with the 4M Tin Can Robot kit. The 4M Tin Can Robot teaches the value of recycling by repurposing a used can into a fun and functional robot. No special tools or knowledge required; the kit contains detailed instructions and all the necessary parts. Just add a used soda pop can and let the fun begin. Use the kit to create a silly robot or a motorized monster, or a combination of the two. Requires one AA batteries (not included). Recommended for ages 8 years and up. Safety Warning Choking - Small Parts

Review: Don't buy! - 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
Review: great birthday present - When my son got this he thought it was great, he's been fiddling with models of all sorts through out his life. Although I haven't seen it yet I felt happy because I knew he would enjoy mucking about with it and he is bound to find some thing other than want it says on the box to do with as well.

## 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 M***N on 13 December 2025*

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.
