Scientific set 4M Beetle from boxes allows to turn empty boxes into a mobile design. The box robot beetle can move, moving its legs like a real insect! The set is designed for children from 5 years of preschool age.
Assemble the work according to the instructions with pictures. It also has an explanation of the principle of operation, interesting facts. Turn on the miracle device and watch the creation of your hands "come to life"!
Green Science series kits involve children in scientific research, teach to assemble devices according to instructions. In the process of compilation develop curiosity, thinking, attentiveness, imagination, design skills, ingenuity. Such classes form a focus on results, introduce physics, mechanics, robotics in a game format. Creating a robot distracts from the Internet and motivates to be interested in science. The set is suitable for classes at home, on development courses according to the STEAM educational method.
Why does the robot move? When you turn it on, you close the circuit that connects the battery to the motor inside the gearbox housing. Electric energy flows from the battery to the motor, which converts this energy into mechanical rotation. The axis of the engine rotates at high speed, but low power, and by itself will not be able to move the robot beetle. The engine rotates several gears inside the gearbox housing, which reduce speed and increase the mechanical power of the engine, making it more efficient. Most conventional machines use the gearbox to change power and speed in a similar way.
The main axis of the robot beetle rotates. Two large wheels and robot legs are connected to the wheels by two pins. The pins are attached to the outer edge of the wheels, and as they rotate they rise and fall, moving the legs.
Each movable support consists of two parts connected by a pin, so that the lifting and lowering force is transmitted from the first part to the second. This is called a lever mechanism. The leg is attached to the body with a pin that acts as a hinge and allows it to move in a certain way. Lever mechanisms and hinges are used in many machines.
The kit has all the necessary parts for assembling a robot. The case consists of the back of the package. Additionally required: 1 AAA battery and Phillips screwdriver.
