Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot Workshop Kit  [70230]

Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot - Compact Build for Learning

The Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot is a compact introduction to mechanical movement and simple robotics, well suited to school workshops or bench-top hobby projects. The build highlights basic mechanisms in a tidy, displayable form.

How It Works

An internal gearbox houses the motor that drives the segmented body, producing a realistic centipede motion. Each leg is mounted with universal joints to allow independent movement, and the steering bar on the front lets builders tune the gait and directional behaviour.

Educational Uses and Presentation

Beyond being an instructive kit on gear interaction and motor drive, the finished Tamiya 70230 doubles as a neat model for showing mechanical principles. The assembly process helps users see how simple linkages and gears create complex motion.
