The Tamiya Mechanical Turtle is a finished piece that highlights mechanical motion in a small display model. It is suited to collectors and anyone interested in the mechanics behind simple walking robots.
An electric motor turns a set of crank plates that translate rotary force into the leg movements. The legs are grouped in front and rear pairs, and the front leg plate uses a ball joint so the legs can pivot and create a natural crawling pattern.
This model requires one R03/AAA/UM4 battery, not supplied with the unit. Its low weight and straightforward power requirement make it easy to handle and suitable for short displays or desktop demos.
