Tamiya 70198 Wall Hugging Mouse Quick Guide

The Tamiya 70198 Wall Hugging Mouse is a straightforward educational model that blends a simple build with practical lessons in basic robotics. The kit is aimed at hobbyists and beginners who want to see how sensors influence motion.

Sensory Design and Zig-Zag Motion

This mouse uses a small sensor arrangement to detect walls and steer in a zig-zag path alongside them. The transparent blue shell reveals the working components so builders can observe how the drive and steering parts interact.

Fast Assembly and Cross-Compatible Parts

With a screwless construction and pre-wired elements, the kit is quick to assemble and avoids fiddly screw work. Its components are compatible with other Tamiya Educational Construction items, opening up options for tweaks and upgrades.

Characterful Look and Battery Life

The whimsical face stickers make the model a fun desk display as well as a learning tool. It is powered by a single AA battery (not included) and will normally run for about six hours on a fresh battery.

Specifications

  • Material: Transparent blue plastic
  • Power Source: 1 x AA battery (not included)
  • Running Time: Approximately 6 hours per battery
  • Assembly: Screwless design with pre-wired components
The build is low difficulty thanks to pre-wired parts and no screws, making it accessible for newcomers and younger hobbyists under supervision.
Individual stickers and common replacement parts are often available through Tamiya dealers or parts sources; check compatibility with the Tamiya Educational Construction range.
It performs best on smooth, continuous surfaces where wall-following can be demonstrated. Rough or highly uneven floors may affect the tracking behaviour.
