The Egg-Box is a neat, cost-effective device that allows you to control K'NEX motors and lights, in a K'NEX model such as a Theme Park ride or a Dancing Robot. You can also view our Egg-Box handy Hints.
FlowGo allows children aged 7+ to control K'NEX motors and lights via a computer. FlowGo provides a higher level of sophistication than the Egg-Box, including variable speed motors, and it can also be connected to sensors.
The K'NEX control motor and K'NEX kits below can be used with either the Egg-Box or with FlowGo.
The Egg-Box is a neat, cost-effective device that allows you to control two K'NEX control motors.
Children as young as 5 can use the Egg-Box to record and then play back a simple sequence of motor commands, such as "motor 1 clockwise" and "motor 2 anticlockwise", in a K'NEX model such as a Theme Park ride.
From age 7, children can then build and program more sophisticated K'NEX models such as the Dancing Robot.
If you buy your Egg-Box from us, it is supplied with a Battery holder, which requires 4 x C batteries (not supplied). The battery holder is essential if you plan to use your Egg-Box with K'NEX control motors. View more info...

Go Control is an easy-to-use flowchart-style computer program that offers:
♦ real control using FlowGo to bring K'NEX models to life, and
♦ virtual control using ACEs (Animated Control Environments)
In addition, Go Control shows a text explanation of the flowchart program to help understanding.
Forwards, backwards, turn, spin - teach the robot the dance moves, and it will repeat them - again and again and again. View video
