[Try programming with a robot full of freshness! ]
This is an assembly kit for robot work that allows you to program the way to advance by connecting pieces that move forward, right curve, and left curve like a chain.
A special color version of the robot body with a refreshing combination of blue and yellow and accented with a white chain.
When the chain is set in the insertion slot at the rear of the robot, the internal gear moves the chain and mechanically reads the coma, moves forward with the front tire, changes direction with the rear tire, and curves left and right.
When the front tire rotates, the left and right arms and head swing in conjunction with each other, creating a cute movement that looks around while walking vigorously.
In addition, one piece of advance advances about 15cm, and the piece of curve turns about 30 ° in each direction.
There are a total of 64 tops, 32 forwards and 16 left and right curves.
The program uses approximately 3-20 frames.
Furthermore, if the frames are connected like a circle, the programmed pattern can be repeated and moved. In that case, 20 to 40 frames are used as a guide.
If the place is wide and flat where the chain won't catch, you can connect the chain for a longer time for a spectacular adventure.
There are countless combinations that you can try out, so I'm looking forward to making a course and trying to make sure that it works with the program you set.

[Challenge upgrade by adding parts and boards]
The robot itself has many 3mm holes that can be used to mount a wide variety of machine parts, such as universal arms and plates (sold separately).
A universal plate is installed inside the robot, and a gear box is added to increase the power, or a 2-channel remote control is provided for direct control.
Furthermore, by incorporating a commercially available microcomputer board or board, it is possible to develop from a mechanical program to a computer program.
