ZOOB's five basic pieces snap, click, and
pop together more than 20 different ways,
and this booklet teaches you how to
connect them (after you've connected them,
be sure to check out how they move!).
When you've mastered these connections,
you'll be ready to start making the ZOOB
vehicles in this booklet, and to use your
imagination to invent your own ZOOB vehicles and creations.
Please note that this ZOOBMobile
set features two special ZOOB
pieces. So, as you practice the
connections on the next few pages
and follow the instructions in this
booklet, be sure to match the shape
of a piece to the piece shown in the
pictures–don't just look at the color.

Take care of your ZOOB pieces and avoid bad connections–they
wear out ZOOB jaws.
Mend your ZOOB jaws
by GENTLY squeezing them together.

PULL BACK SLOWLY
BY HOLDING NEAR
THE MOTOR HOUSING
The Fastback rear assembly has special ZOOB
connectors so you can make many different types
of vehicles. Make sure the rounded portion of the
motor housing is facing backward.
FRONT
BACK
MOTOR
HOUSING
Read these tips for
the best Fastback
racing performance.
Once you have built your vehicle,
you are ready to race!
1. With the wheels touching the
ground, hold your vehicle near
the motor housing and slowly
pull back.
3. Point and release your vehicle in a
safe direction, allowing for travel
distances of up to 25 feet or more.
TIP:
Vehicles with fewer pieces
will travel faster and farther
than those with
more pieces.
2. Continue to pull back until you hear
a clicking sound (this means the
motor is fully wound). Or, pull back
as far as you can reach. Then,
without lifting the wheels off the
ground, put your thumb on one of the
wheels (to keep it from moving). Lift
your car and put it back where you
started (on the ground). Remove your
thumb and pull your car back again.
Repeat until you hear a clicking
sound.
The ZOOB Fastback uses
a special rear wheel
assembly with a wind-up spring
motor that never needs batteries.

CREATIVE BUILDING
ZOOB is an open-ended building system, which means there's no
limit to what you can build . . . or the fun you can have.
ZOOB sets range in size from a 15-piece set up to a
500-piece set that includes 4 foam play pads and a
large storage case. Every ZOOB set comes with
instruction guides, but the real fun is in
designing (and playing with)
your own ZOOB creations.

ZOOBMobile Car Sets feature
special racing colors and sturdy wheels
with rubber tires that also work like
gears. The Dragster Set features
two large wheels and four regular
wheels for extra building fun.
The motorized Cruiser has
55 ZOOB pieces, 4 extra
wheels, and a remote control
unit so you can drive it after you build.
ZOOB Creator's Kit: Build with ZOOB, then transform your
creations with colorful, durable foam pieces--from robots to rabbits,
you can build all sorts of creations.
ZOOBMover R/C: Snap ZOOB pieces onto the
ZOOBMover to build anything you can imagine–from a
dragon to an ant to an armadillo. Then make your creations
walk, crawl, and spin with the remote control unit.
ZOOBDudes are adventure heroes with faces, helmets, and their own working accessories–the
Fireman squirts water, the Ranger glides with its parachute, and the Rock Climber climbs
up the line.
The ZOOB•Bot can help you build your own robots using
ZOOB pieces, light-up eyes, and a pull-back motor that makes the eyes light up!
