While we’re stoked the show is back on The Science Channel, we’re even more excited that a few of Fatherly’s “Maker Dads” videos will appear during each episode, teaching parents how to create their own (less dangerous) robots with their kids. During this week’s episode, Shannon LaNier and his daughter Madison show you how to build a Pivot Bot. What, exactly, is a Pivot Bot you ask? Made with componentry provided by littleBits, it’s an easy-to-build robot that you can steer and spin around with a remote control.
