BUILD A GECKO ROBOT THAT CAN CLIMB SMOOTH SURFACES!
Going up! Build an adorable robotic gecko that defies gravity to crawl up, down, and all around smooth vertical surfaces! Equipped with patented suction cups, this innovative robot climbs just like a real gecko. Its lifelike tail-swinging mechanism does a little jig as it climbs, and its four-legged reciprocating movement creates an engaging and realistic experience that will captivate kids and adults alike.
As you assemble this motorized, multi-legged machine with suction cup feet and an innovative gear system, you’ll learn about its inner mechanisms, including an electric circuit complete with motor, battery, and switch. Then experiment to see which types of surfaces your Geckobot can climb best and read about how suction cups work and how this robot climbs.
This hands-on construction kit isn’t just about fun—it brings engineering and physics to life as it demonstrates the power of air pressure and the magic of biomimicry. A 20-page, full-color manual guides your model building with step-by-step illustrated instructions.
