Gyrobot

Product Description

A robot fit for the circus! With this kit, you can build a robot that walks, step by step, along a tightrope. How? Thanks to the robot’s main component, a gyroscope, it can maintain its balance & perform this fun trick without falling over! Through eight experiments, you can explore the astonishing powers of the motorised gyroscope & understand the physics behind its amazing behaviours. Experiment with getting the robot to walk on different surfaces a tightrope, on a solid tabletop, on a soft surface, & even on your arm! You can also experiment with the balancing behaviour of the motorised gyroscope by itself, testing its ability to balance on its edge, on your finger, on a pole, & dangling from a string. The kit

Includes:: parts to build the robot & experimental setups, including a frame for the tightrope. By constructing the robot & performing the experiments with the motorised gyroscope unit, young engineers can learn about the science of gyroscopic devices & the indispensable role they play in our lives. A full-colour, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions & scientific explanations.
