Tamiya 70195 Wall Hugging Ladybug STEM Kit - Beginner Robotics  [70195]

Getting Started with the Tamiya Wall-Hugging Ladybug

The Tamiya Wall-Hugging Ladybug is an approachable entry into basic robotics and mechanical design, using a clever chassis layout to illustrate simple motion principles. This kit is part of Tamiya's STEM Series and works well for young hobbyists keen to learn about gears, movement, and simple automation.

Build Highlights and Parts

The model uses a clear red outer shell paired with a white chassis to create a neat contrast during assembly. Pieces snap together without screws so builders can focus on how the mechanism works rather than fiddly fasteners. A sticker sheet is supplied so you can personalise the ladybug as you assemble it.

How It Behaves

Once built, the ladybug runs from a single R6/AA/UM3 battery (not included) and is engineered to alter its course when it touches a wall, effectively tracking along the surface. That behaviour makes it easy to observe basic reactive movement, and run time is about six hours depending on battery quality and use.
