Bionic Robotic Arm

Assemble this cutting-edge robotic arm from almost 300 plastic pieces, learning how each part comes together in its intricate mechanical design.

Once assembled, you can intuitively control the arm with two joysticks, which pull and release the multiple nylon cables threaded through it, enabling easy and precise control of its movement. Use the right joystick to control the upper body and the left one for the lower body. You’ll be amazed at how instinctive it feels.

Bonus: Switch out the gripper claw with a model of an eel’s head to transform your robotic arm into a slithery bionic eel. Can you pick up the included small shrimp models with the eels mouth?

A full-color manual guides model building and experimentation and provides engaging scientific information about how this type of robotic arm works, including real world examples.

Arm: 360-degree, 23-inch horizontal working area and 180-degree, 15-inch vertical working area Claw: 180-degree rotation, 2.5-inch maximum grip

For ages 10 and up with help, or 14 and up to do alone.
