I never thought much about robotics until I read Robotic Gorilla. I learned there are roach-bots, snake-bots, agricultural-bots, dog-bots, fish-bots, lobster-bots, and, of course gorilla-bots just to name those bots mentioned in the book. Children who enjoy building things will enjoy building the robotic Gorilla that is part of the book set.
