Thames & Kosmos The Amazing Tightrope-Walking Gyrobot STEM Experiment Kit | Build a Robot that Walks on Narrow Surfaces | 8 Experiments with Gyroscopic Forces | Includes Parts to Build Tightrope Setup

A robot fit for the circus! With this kit, You’ll build a robot that walks, step by step, along a tightrope. How? Thanks to the robot’s main component, a gyroscope, it will possibly handle its balance and perform this fun trick without falling over! Through eight experiments, You’ll explore the astonishing powers of the motorized gyroscope and bear in mind the physics at the back of its amazing behaviors. Experiment with getting the robot to walk on different surfaces: a tightrope, on a solid tabletop, on a soft surface, and even on your arm! You’ll also experiment with the balancing behavior of the motorized gyroscope on its own, testing its ability to balance on its edge, on your finger, on a pole, and dangling from a string. The kit includes parts to build the robot and experimental setups, including a frame for the tightrope. By constructing the robot and performing the experiments with the motorized gyroscope unit, young engineers can learn about the science of gyroscopic devices and the indispensable role they play in our lives. A full-color, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step by step assembly instructions and scientific explanations.
