Tamiya 70248 Roller Skating Robot Educational Kit  [70248]

Hands-on motion learning with Tamiya 70248

The Tamiya 70248 Roller Skating Robot is a compact educational model that demonstrates basic mechanics through an engaging build. It makes core movement concepts visible and fun for hobbyists and students alike.

Swizzle motion and directional control

This model recreates a swizzle gait where the legs alternate opening and closing to drive movement. Steering is achieved by adjusting small rudders fitted to the skates, letting you bias turns. The clear blue body reveals the moving parts while the white shell is ready for painting and personalisation.

Simple assembly and running tips

The kit uses a mix of snap-fit parts and a few screws so assembly stays beginner friendly. It is powered by a Type 130 motor and uses one AA battery (sold separately), producing around 33.3 cm/s. Optional universal arms are available separately to allow rail-guided demonstrations.
