We do miss Robot Wars.... Before you start building the all singing, cleaning, tidying, dancing, car fixing, home robot youve always meant to get round to it might be a good idea to start small & learn some of the basics. The Build Your Own Robot Arm is the perfect practice run. Anyone who wants a fun technical challenge can build their own remote controlled robotic arm with this self-assembly kit. Although its simple to construct, building the robot arm is a great way to learn more about basic robot technology & control systems. With five motors for multi-directional control of five different joints, the robot arm features base rotation, shoulder, elbow & wrist motion as well as a functional gripping claw. The gripping claw also has an integrated LED spotlight for extra illumination of anything that you are going to pick up. The five-way directional control allows the robot arm to grab, lift, position, lower & release items smoothly & efficiently. A wired remote controller gives the user complete control over all of these functions, & in addition to learning about robotic operation during the assembly process, manually controlling the arm is the perfect way to learn more about how machines work. So, start with this Build Your Own Robot Arm kit & who knows what youll be working on in the future!
