Thames & Kosmos | Building & Construction Roborails – The Robot Monorail System

Description

Play with the science of gyroscopes!This buildable monowheel robot features a fast-moving internal gyroscope that uses ball bearings as the weights of the gimbal, so the spinning movement is nearly frictionless and its balance is incredibly steady.Choose one of the 26 track configurations in the manual, or get creative and invent your own. There’s a seesaw for the robot to climb up and down, a splitter for sending it in three possible directions, and a cross switch for switching from one track to a perpendicular track.Watching it navigate the tracks is fun. But when kids start exploring the hands-on experiments to learn about rotational motion, acceleration, and angular momentum, that simple fun becomes wonder and awe!Inspire the technology of tomorrow with Roborails: The Robot Monorail System.Roborails – The Robot Monorail System Kit for building a monorail system with a gyroscopic robot Encourages spatial reasoning, STEM learning, creativity, experimentation, curiosity Gyroscope uses ball bearings as weights of gimbal for near frictionless rotation Monorail track features 3 special connectors – seesaw, splitter, cross switch Manual features 26 track configurations to build, hands-on experiments to try Kids can reconfigure the track any way they want Includes 186 building pieces 32-page instruction manual included Requires 2 AA batteries – Not included Quality materials and construction – Exceptional build-and-learn experience Ages 8+ with help, Ages 12+ I got this
