Wacky Robot Capacitron

Store and Release Your Own Energy

Meet your new light-up companion

With the Capacitron Wacky Robot kit, you’ll build a fun, 12-piece electronic friend from scratch. This project takes about 1 hour and results in a robot with glowing red eyes that you can control yourself.

Master the Basics of Soldering

Capacitron is a perfect entry point into the world of DIY electronics. You'll learn the essential skill of soldering as you connect resistors, LEDs, and a battery holder to a real printed circuit board (PCB) to bring your robot to life.

Explore the Magic of Capacitors

Discover how electronics store power! You’ll learn how capacitors act like small rechargeable batteries, absorbing energy when you press one button and slowly releasing it to make Capacitron’s eyes fade away when you press the other.

Become a Technology Creator

CircuitMess is on a mission to inspire the next generation of inventors. By building Capacitron, you’ll gain the confidence to understand the inner workings of the gadgets you use every day.
