Scientific set 4M Robot-garbage can allows you to collect an unusual robot in the form of a garbage container. He can ride on a table or floor, opening and closing the lid. The set will appeal to children from 8 years old and will introduce them to robotics, physics, mechanics.
Assemble the work according to the instructions with pictures and include. Watch him move on wheels, happily slapping the lid. Similar robotic garbage trucks will help in the future with the removal and sorting of waste. You can learn more about this and other interesting facts in the world of robotics from the instructions.
The Green Science series involves children in scientific research, teaches to assemble devices according to schemes, to perform precise work with hands. In the process of compiling the work, primary school children develop curiosity, attentiveness, thinking, imagination, ingenuity, design skills, see the results of their efforts. Such classes contribute to the formation of purposefulness, patience, confidence in their abilities. Building a working model of work distracts from gadgets and motivates children to be more interested in science. The set is suitable for classes at home, on development courses according to the STEAM educational method.
How is the robot arranged? The battery supplies electricity to the motor, which rotates the motor axis at high speed. The gears reduce the speed of rotation of the wheel, but increase the resistance. A small round wheel on the axle is called a cam. When the axle rotates, the cam pushes the end of the lever up and allows it to fall again, once for each revolution of the shaft. This causes the other end of the lever to raise and lower the pusher, which in turn opens and closes the tank lid.
What is the scientific principle of operation? The robot is based on the mechanism of conversion of rotational motion into linear (reciprocating).
Includes: front tank, gear cover, rear tank, frame, tank cover, 2 wheels, battery cover, pusher, axle with gear and cam, 2 eye supports, 2 upper levers, 2 lower levers, lever, 2 terminal covers, motor with wires, 2 eye stickers, pusher clamp, screws. Additionally, you need 1 AAA battery and a small Phillips screwdriver (not included).
