Thames & Kosmos Geckobot [THK620365T]

Description: Thames & Kosmos Geckobot Wall-Climbing Robot Kit Experience the marvel of technology with the Geckobot Wall-Climbing Robot Kit. This astonishing wall-climbing robot has a motorized air suction system that enables it to walk vertically up and down perfectly smooth surfaces, such as glass, plastic, whiteboards, and glossy laminates. The battery-powered motor drives an innovative gear system that produces a rotating motion, making the legs move back and forth and up and down, mimicking the motion of a real gecko. Two of the feet touch the wall while the other two feet are lifted off, creating an alternating stepping motion. Additionally, the gear system operates an air pump that creates a vacuum at the feet touching the wall while blowing air outward at the other two feet. This unique mechanism allows the Geckobot to scale walls effortlessly. With the Geckobot kit, you can not only build this amazing wall-climbing robot but also construct six other models and conduct experiments related to suction, air pressure, and mechanical physics. Build models like an industrial robotic arm with a vacuum suction cup gripper, a crawling inchworm, a smartphone holder, a suction tow truck and car, an ellipsograph, and a suction gun. The included 24-page, full-color manual provides step-by-step illustrated instructions for model building and offers scientific information and explanations about the technology behind the Geckobot and its applications.
