How do industrial robots - the kind that are used on assembly lines - actually work?
Now you can unlock the secrets of these sophisticated machines by building one of your own! The VEX® Robotics Robotic Arm is a completely functional construction kit inspired by real industrial robot arms. It is hand-powered and can pick up and relocate items using four degrees of freedom and an articulated grabber hand. The whole crane can rotate through 360°, allowing it to perform the complex actions of its real-life counterpart.
Children and robotics enthusiasts alike will have fun building this STEM-based kit that pays special attention to important scientific principals including gear reductions and power transfer through the robotic arm's intricate gearing.
HEXBUG® hopes to inspire future generations of engineers and designers by allowing them to explore this exciting field through the fun of hands-on creative play.
