Designed and donated by Solarbotics, this kit has everything you need to build a Useless Box. What is a Useless Box? Why, it's a box that is entirely useless, of course! As soon as you flip the switch to turn the box on and open it up, it responds with a little lever that turns the box right back off again and closes the lid pronto, so you can't put anything inside. It's a box with attitude, that's what it is. (Ok, we'll tell you a little secret: it /is/ possible to bypass the mechanism and open the box if you really want to. But if you're going to just use it like a normal box, what's the point of it being useless, hm?) This is one of just 4 special Useless Boxes that bear the Desert Bus 6 logo.

1 x 39300 brown "Useless Box" construction set (with nut/bolt hardware), bearing the Desert Bus 6 logo
