Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot Educational STEM Kit  [70230]

Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot - Practical STEM Build

The Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot combines straightforward assembly with clear mechanical learning points, making it a solid pick for hobbyists and classroom projects. Builders get direct experience with moving parts and simple robotics while creating an eye-catching model.

Mechanics and Movement

This kit centres on a compact gearbox that houses the included motor, transmitting motion to the segmented body for a lifelike centipede gait. Legs attach with universal joints to permit flexible stepping across different surfaces. Adjusting the steering bar on the head changes how the legs drive, so users can test different movement behaviours.

Learning Outcomes and Display Use

As well as being an educational exercise in gears and motion, the Tamiya 70230 makes a tidy display once built. The construction process helps illustrate gear ratios, linkage action, and motor-driven mechanisms in a hands-on way that supports learning and hobby display alike.
