Build a Geckobot model that walks vertically on smooth surfaces such as windows, glass, and mirrors. Learn about the physics of air pressure, suction, and surface textures. In addition to the Geckobot, build 6 other robot models. 7 different models in total. Includes a 24-page, full-color manual and experiment guide with step-by-step instructions and scientific explanations. Difficulty: Advanced
Product introduction This amazing wall climbing robot has a motorized air suction system that allows it to walk vertically up and down on perfectly smooth surfaces such as glass, plastic, whiteboards, and glossy laminates. The battery-powered motor drives an innovative gear system that moves the legs back and forth and up and down. It mimics a real gecko. So, two feet touch the wall, and the other two feet are lifted off the wall, moving alternately. At the same time, the gear system drives the air pump, which touches the wall with two feet and blows air outwards with the other two feet. In this way, two feet always keep the model pinned to the wall, while the other two feet push off to move forward. By building six other models and experimenting with suction, you'll learn about the pneumatic and mechanical physics of this unique device. Build models of an industrial robot arm with a vacuum suction gripper, crawling inchworm, smartphone holder, suction tow truck, car, ellipsograph and suction gun. 24-page full-color manual with step-by-step illustrated instructions and scientific information and explanations. Safety Warning Do not mix old and new batteries. Do not mix alkaline, standard (carbon-zinc) or rechargeable (nickel-cadmium) batteries.
