I founded Lynxmotion in 1995, due to a fascination with robotics and a frustration with the available robot-based kits. We have made a serious commitment to manufacture and distribute the absolute highest quality educational robot kits. Our commitment to quality has made the Lynxmotion series of robot kits soar to the top, and we intend to keep them there. Our kits are in use teaching many aspects of robotics all over the world. These are not "toys", but vehicles for teaching and learning complex robotic principles. They are a lot of fun, though.

We publish our illustrated assembly guides on the website for all to see. It's not a problem when you have nothing to hide. The guides are progressive, meaning the images look like the robot you are building as you progress. Just look at the assembly guides if you're not sure if you can build one of our kits.

Our laser cutting is done on-site, which means we have direct control of the quality of the parts. The robot designs use custom anodized aluminum and injection molded components. These custom parts enhance the performance, while making the kits much easier to assemble. To ensure you get everything you paid for, all of our parts bags are verified with state-of-the-art counting scales.

Tech support, should you need it, is as easy as a phone call, an e-mail, or a quick check on our forum. We want your experience with robotics and our company to be a favorable one. We want your robot to work.

We keep a very large inventory so you will not have to wait. Most orders placed before 1:00pm central time ship the same day. One of our customers jokingly said, "I place the order, hang up the phone, answer the door and the package is there!" We accept Visa, MasterCard, or hard-copy school purchase orders.

Every effort has been made to make the mechanical assembly as easy as possible. Most of our kits use nylon push rivet fasteners for effortless servo installation; no need for nuts and bolts here! The electronics are preassembled so you can literally "plug and play". If you can read a pictorial schematic and follow step by step instructions, you shouldn’t have trouble. High school students do well with our kits, and younger children do equally well with adult supervision.

Our kits require only simple hand tools to construct. These may include a Phillips screwdriver, hex head driver, pair of pliers, etc. The construction time varies depending on the kit and the person, but usually takes between two or three hours. Of course, the more complex kits could take a bit longer due to the large number of components.

Notice: These projects have been known to spark imaginations as well as to make one think! I have heard from people who purchased kits for parent-child projects reporting great results. The technology is here, the costs are affordable, so get a kit and see what all the excitement is about. Join in and become a robot builder!
