Tamiya Educational Construction Chain-Program Robot
Innovative construction kit for educational purposes
Offers integration with micro-computers for advanced programming
Compatible with Tamiya Educational Construction Series components
Operates with a single AA battery and two Type 130 motors
The Tamiya Educational Construction Chain-Program Robot is an innovative construction kit designed for educational purposes. This version is presented as a Chain-Program Robot, with its movements pre-determined by the use of three distinct types of links. These links can be interconnected to form a chain, providing a hands-on learning experience.
The kit is designed for straightforward assembly, requiring only a single AA battery to function. It offers the possibility of integration with micro-computers and other components from the Tamiya Educational Construction Series, making it an excellent tool for fostering creativity.
The robot is programmed using three different types of links, each representing a different movement command. It is powered by two Type 130 motors, ensuring reliable performance. The robot also features 3mm holes, making it compatible with the universal arms and plates from the Tamiya Educational Construction Series.
Additionally, it provides space for the installation of a micro-computer, allowing for more advanced programming applications. The robot can also be used with a separately sold 2-channel remote controller, requiring a double gearbox. The robot's dimensions are approximately 185mm in length, 138mm in width, and 162mm in height.
Please note that the robot requires a single AA battery to function, which is not included in the kit. Advanced programming applications require the installation of a micro-computer, which is not included. A separately sold 2-channel remote controller is required for certain functions.
