In what ways is this kit different from the Soda Can Bug kit that you have?

The Tin Can Robot kit and the Soda Can Robug kit are very similar in that they both use some of the same components to make the creatures. The Tin Can Robot kit has straw arms and googly eyes, while the Soda Can Robug kit has antennae and wire legs. The Tin Can Robot kit can be made to stand upright or with the can in a horizontal position. The Soda Can Robug has wire legs that vibrate when it moves, making a sound kids love. Both kits are made by the same manufacturer. The two make a great team!
