Tamiya 70256 - TAMIYABIPEDAL WALKING ROBOT

Tamiya Education Construction Series No.256 Bipedal Walking Robot

The Bipedal Walking Robot is a new addition to the Educational Construction Series. Walking Robot moves by transferring its weight. When the weight transfer unit, which is composed of a gearbox and battery case, moves right, and left, the model rocks and its legs move forward.

- Two separately sold AAA batteries are required. Continuous running time: about 2 hours.
- Running on even surfaces is recommended.
- Features light gray plastic parts.
- The legs and plastic slides have holes to attach parts such as universal shafts, arms, and your original parts by tapping screws. Enjoy changing its appearance!
- Easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly.

Robot Movement

- Crank rotation is converted into reciprocating motion by the slider.
Turning
- Adjusting gearbox attachment angle and limiter alters the model direction.
- Gearbox attachment angle is adjustable to three directions (right, middle, left), and it can be changed even after assembly. (If gearbox is moved to left, the model turns right.)
- The legs have limiters to limit model lean. When the limiter is down, the body lean is decreased, and stride length becomes shorter.
- Attaching guide rod redirects the model if it hits an obstacle.
-  Making the model hold things such as an AAA battery (approx. 11g) changes its center of gravity, which lets the model turn.
