Features

• It moves like a centipede with its soft joints and legs!
• This is a craft set of a centipede type robot that moves with 18 legs while changing the direction of movement according to the shape of the ground.
• The robot consists of one unit with a tactile head, six units with the same shape, and one unit with a motor and battery in the center.
• All of these units are gearboxes and run on a single motor.
• The unit is connected by freely moving joints to reproduce the movement of the squiggly centipede.
• The universal joint also conveys the power of the motor.
• The legs are made of soft resin and move forward by kicking the ground while the legs rotate.
• In addition, the rudder on the head allows you to change the ease of bending from side to side, so you can also adjust the direction of travel.
• The whole body is clear blue, so you can see how the gears inside each unit move.
• New Fun Spreading with Ingenuity
• Changing the number of torsos and the orientation of the legs can be fun.
• Also, the crank to which the legs attach is in contact with the ground, so you can move without attaching the legs.
• In addition, since the torso parts transmit power through universal joints, they can also be used as power transmission parts for original work.
• The shaft that rotates the legs is the same 2 mm diameter as the one used in the Mini 4WD, so if you have a lot of 72 mm long shafts and tires, you can make a 18 wheel drive car.
• Comes with 1 motor.
• It can be assembled easily without using adhesives, just by screwing and fitting.
• i-CentiPot (i-CentiPot)
• The centipede robot machine set was created with reference to the centipede robot "i-CentiPot" created by a team led by Professor Osuga of Osaka University.
• The i-CentiPot consists of a soft articulated torso and soft legs.
• There's no computer, you're just spinning your legs with a motor, but you're moving along, correcting the direction to fit the shape of the ground.
• The route is adjusted up, down, left and right according to the shape of the road surface.
• The direction of travel can be adjusted by changing the direction of the ladder on the machine head.
