Tamiya 70162 Remote-Control Robot Kit - STEM Builder Edition  [70162]

Tamiya 70162 Kit Overview for Builders

The Tamiya 70162 Remote-Control Robot Construction Set is a practical entry point into basic robotics and mechanism design. The package contains a twin-motor gearbox, a crank-axle gearbox, and a clear smoke-coloured remote control box; the four-channel transmitter lets you test different drive and actuator combinations.

Main Features

• Flexible Parts: A set of universal arms, perforated plates and a ball caster lets you try multiple chassis and manipulator layouts.
• Hands-On Learning: Assembly reveals gear interaction, motor behaviour and simple control wiring for learners who want tactile experience.
• Design Practice: Build robots that can grip, lift and carry small items to develop problem solving and design iteration skills.

Example Builds

This kit supports several practical configurations for experimentation:

• Arm Type: A grab-and-lift arrangement suited to accurate handling tasks and practising control inputs.
• Shovel Type: A scooping layout designed to move batches of small objects and demonstrate load handling.
• Bucket Type: Uses a crank mechanism to open and close, useful for picking up individual items with controlled motion.
