Robot Factory Watch out — robots gone rogue! In this new adventure in
the Kids First early engineering series, the Omega family takes a trip to a
robot factory where the robots have gotten a little out of control. One by
one, the wacky, motorized robots are fixed up and put back into working order,
with the help of the Omegas — and you! As you follow along with the 32-page
illustrated storybook manual, you’ll build working models of the eight
different classic robots and experiment with them to see how each one uses the
battery-powered motor, gears, and other mechanical parts to move its arms or
legs in a different, funny, zany way. Through building and experimenting, kids
get a unique look at how simple mechanical systems work. Large, cubic plastic
building pieces make it easy for small hands to put the models together. Robot
Factory provides an engaging way to teach simple engineering concepts to young
children, allowing parents, teachers, and caregivers to lay the groundwork for
strong STEM-related skills and comprehension at an early age. Model building
and experiments develop fine motor skill, mechanical engineering skills,
visual-spatial skills, and reasoning and concept development skills.

Got Questions?
Where is my package?
For orders shipped through the USPS, packages are not scanned until they reach their first distribution center, which for us is typically Richmond VA. In heavy volume shipping times, our packages sometimes get pushed to Dulles VA for distribution instead. Only once it arrives at the distribution center will the tracking update beyond the label printing.
Often times because of the heavy volume of packages in transit a Carrier fails to scan a package in which does not update the tracking. Unfortunately there is no rhyme or reason for this And we have seen packages go all the way from shipped to delivered and the only update on tracking is when the package is out for delivery. These particular situations also cause some delays.
If you do come into a situation where you're tracking hasn't updated for a few days since it's been fullfilled, we suggest submitting a package inquiry directly with the Carrier using your tracking number and generally that will get the package moving.
If it has been over a week at that point you can submit a missing package claim and we will also. Only after a missing package claim has been accepted can we issue a refund or a reshipment of your order.
Where is my order confirmation?
Sometimes our automated confirmation emails get stuck in spam or just get blocked entirely by your email provider. If you email us at orders@kittyhawk.com with this inquiry and the name the order was placed under our online sales team can pull up your information and resend the confirmation email.
What is my tracking number?
Sometimes our automated emails get stuck in spam or just get blocked entirely by your email provider. If you email us at orders@kittyhawk.com with this inquiry and the name the order was placed under our online sales team can pull up your information and get you your tracking number.
Why didn't I get free shipping?
Our shipping it set up to charge automatically for orders under $99 (exclusions can be found here). If it is still charging shipping, you may have used a promo code that dropped your total under the $99 or you are purchasing an oversized item.
Why is my promo code not working?
Our promo codes are set up under automatic parameters and the only reasons they would not work is if you've used that promo code before or you already have a promotional or bundle deal in your cart. No coupons or promo codes can be combined with any other.
What’s your return policy?
Please find our full return policy here.
Do you ship internationally?
We are currently only able to ship to the US and Canada.
Can I visit your stores or fly with you in person?
We would love to see you in person! We have numerous retail locations along the eastern coast of the US. Information about our locations can be found here.
It is pretty common to find some of our employees outside flying kites around our stores and we would be happy to fly with you or help you learn to fly your kites!
