Bionic Robotic Arm from Thames & Kosmos. Recommended for ages 8 years and older (with adult assistance) and 12 years and older for independent use. Build your own futuristic robotic arm controlled by joysticks. The arm utilizes nylon cables, mimicking tendons and muscles, for intuitive and precise movements. Joysticks allow for opening, closing, and rotating the claw 180 degrees. Bonus feature: transform the gripper claw into a slithery bionic eel model. Also, learn about biomimicry and its incorporation into everyday engineering. Includes 297 pieces, 2 experiments, and a full-color instruction manual.

Description

Introducing the Bionic Robotic Arm from Thames & Kosmos! This awesome robotic arm is perfect for kids ages 8 years and older. With some help from an adult, younger kids can join in on the fun too. And for older kids, 12 years and up, they can build it on their own!

Get ready to build your very own futuristic robotic arm that can be controlled by a pair of joysticks. These joysticks pull and release a network of nylon cables, allowing for intuitive and precise movements. It's just like the tendons and muscles in your own arm!

The joysticks are used to open, close, and rotate the claw a full 180 degrees. But that's not all - as a bonus, you can switch out the gripper claw with a model of an eel's head. This transforms your robotic arm into a slithery bionic eel!

Not only is this kit super fun to build and play with, but it also teaches you about biomimicry. Biomimicry is the study of how models, systems, and elements found in nature are incorporated into everyday engineering. So you'll be learning while having a blast!

The Bionic Robotic Arm kit includes a total of 297 pieces, 2 experiments to try out, and a handy full-color instruction manual. Get ready to embark on an exciting engineering adventure with this incredible kit!
