Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot: Practical Mechanics Kit

The Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot is a practical model that teaches the basics of mechanical linkages and motion sequencing through physical assembly. It is built to demonstrate how simple rules produce predictable movement.

Programmable Chain Drive

The core feature is a chain of links in three varieties for forward, left and right instructions. By arranging the links in sequence you can preset the robot's path; the kit ships complete with parts and requires one AA battery to run.

Parts Compatibility and Control Upgrades

Powered by two Type 130 motors, the chassis includes 3mm mounting holes so you can add Tamiya Educational Construction Series plates and arms. There is space for a microcomputer to enable more advanced programs, and the model can be adapted for radio control with a separately bought 2-channel controller and double gearbox.

Practical Learning for Hobbyists

As an instructional kit, the Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot helps hobbyists grasp sequencing, basic drive systems and simple electronics, making it suitable for weekend projects and learning sessions.
