NEWTON'S APPLE: TIGHTROPE-WALKING GYROBOT

‧Item no.: #7083

● Build a one-of-a-kind apple robot that defies gravity!
● Explore the physics of gyroscopes: gravity, motion, Newton’s laws, force, speed, rotation, balance, and weight
● A single-wheel gyro-balanced robot that walks on rails, ropes, tables and even mug rims.
● Use additional Gigo C series building blocks to add more weight, and test its limits.
● Third-generation gravity-defying robot with built-in motorized gyroscope.
● Includes two types of tracks and string for a tightrope.
● Requires 2 AAA batteries – not included

Category: Technical Bricks, Robotics

Description

DISCOVER THE LAWS OF MOTION IN ACTION!

An apple that defies gravity and walks a tightrope —what would Isaac Newton have thought? Build a cute apple robot that walks along a tightrope. How? Thanks to the robot’s main component, a motorized gyroscope, it can maintain its balance and perform this fun trick without falling over. Through five experiments, you can discover the astonishing powers of the motorized gyroscope and explore the physics behind its amazing behaviors. Experiment with getting the gyrobot to walk on the included tracks and string, investigate the gyrobot’s center of gravity, play a ring-toss game, and watch the gyrobot spin on a flat surface.
