Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot - Interactive Mechanical Kit

The Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot combines a simple build process with a clear demonstration of mechanical motion, making it a useful addition to any hobbyist workshop. It gives practical insight into gearing and leg linkage systems.

Drive System and Leg Action

A compact gearbox contains the included motor which turns the segmented body to simulate centipede locomotion. Legs are fitted on universal joints for flexible stepping, and the head-mounted steering bar lets you tweak movement rhythm and direction for hands-on trials.

Classroom Value and Shelf Appeal

While designed to teach basic robotics and mechanical principles, the assembled Tamiya 70230 also works well as a display model. The build process highlights gear interaction and motor function in a tangible, easy-to-follow way.
