Thames & Kosmos Bionic Robotic Arm

Description

Assemble this cutting-edge robotic arm from almost 300 plastic pieces, learning how each part comes together in its intricate mechanical design. The segmented arm is driven by cables like the tendons in muscles. Once assembled, you can control the arm with 2 joysticks, which pull and release the multiple nylon cables threaded through it, enabling easy and precise control of its movement. Use the right joystick to control the upper body and the left one for the lower body. Touch the right button to rotate the claw up to 180°, while pressing the left button to open and close the claw. Move the joysticks and push the buttons to maneuver the claw to grab, move, and release various objects.
