Tamiya 70248 Roller Skating Roboter

Tamiya’s energetic Craft Model Design team never rest! They’ve come up with their latest whimsical Robot creation in a fun new way with the introduction of the Roller-Skating Robot. The Roller-Skating Robot moves forward by opening and closing its legs. This motion is the same as actual skating – a type of motion called swizzle.

Key features of our Rolling Skating friend:
- This Roller-Skating Robot moves forward by opening and closing its legs, and caster limit restricts caster movement and changes lateral to forward motion.
- The rudders on the roller skates can be adjusted to turn right and left.
- Push the left rudder to the outside to turn left, and the right rudder outside to turn right.
- Choose between clear blue body which allows viewing of internal mechanisms and white one which can be freely painted.
- Speed: 33.3 cm/s=1.2 km/h (It takes about 3 seconds to run 1 meter.)
- Minimum turning radius: about 300mm.
- Includes everything needed for easy snap-fit/screw-together assembly.
- Comes with type 130 motor.
- One AA battery is required (sold separately).
- Can move along rails if desired (separately sold universal arms).
