Category Description for Techno Gears - Marble Mania

Go wild with the Techno Gears marble run sets! The Techno Gears marble runs are unique from other marble run sets in a few ways. First of all, the sets contain more components than most of the other marble runs; secondly, they are motorized (and require at least 1 AA battery); and thirdly, they are constructed with a more stable interlocking base instead of the hopper "foot" pieces at the bottom of each column. Hundreds of design possibilities allow your children to take their engineering and mechanics capabilities to a whole new level!

Category Description for Techno Gears Marble Mania Mini Series

The fun of a gear toy and marble run rolled into one! These slimmed-down versions of previous Techno Gears kits each contain about 100 pieces and now require no batteries! The Catapult features and elevator-type lift to get your marbles to the top with a push of a button and two scoop-turned-lever drops. The Crankster has a gear and crank powered lift with little marble cups on a belt that dump the marbles when they reach the top. The Zoomerang uses a gear and crank to turn an auger-type lift to bring marbles to the top. All pieces with the mini series are interchangeable, allowing children to come up with creative builds of their own. Construction is a little tricky with these sets, so these might be better suited for an older builder, a marble-run loving parent willing to assist, or a child who enjoys the challenge of building. - Laura
