Product Brief for the Tamiya 70162 Construction Set

The Tamiya 70162 Remote-Control Robot Construction Set provides a clear platform for learning about mechanical linkages and basic radio control. The kit contains a twin-motor gearbox, a crank-axle gearbox and a clear smoke remote control unit; four channels let you combine drive and attachment motions.

Useful Features

  • Interchangeable Elements: Universal arms, plates and a ball caster make it simple to rearrange parts for trial builds.
  • Educational Build: Assembly teaches gear interaction, motor behaviour and simple wiring in a hands-on way suited to clubs and classroom sessions.
  • Applied Creativity: Construct robots that grip, carry or tip out loads to practise design choices and mechanical problem solving.

Suggested Builds

Examples you can construct from the supplied parts include:

  • Arm Type: A grab-and-lift setup geared toward accurate placement and control practice.
  • Shovel Type: A scooping arrangement built for moving groups of small pieces and exploring handling strategies.
  • Bucket Type: Uses a crank action to open and close for picking up single items with repeatable motion.

Specifications

  • Material: Various plastics and metals
  • Dimensions: Configurable based on design
  • Power Source: Requires two R20/D/UM1 size batteries (not included)
The kit is suitable for newcomers with patience and for hobbyists wanting a basic mechanical project; some familiarity with small tools is useful for neat assembly.
Improve grip by adjusting lever geometry, increasing contact surface on grippers, or tuning motor gearing; lighter payloads and balanced layouts also aid lifting performance.
Some events limit robot size and voltage. For example, common restrictions set a maximum around 300mm and a supply limit near 3V, and playing areas often use standard court dimensions and start line procedures.
