The Tamiya 71121 model is a practical assembly kit aimed at hobbyists and learners. It features a two-legged walking mechanism powered by a wind-up generator, and can be assembled to walk in styles resembling an ostrich or a duck for added variety.
This kit demonstrates basic mechanical concepts such as linkages and gear ratios during assembly. The hand-cranked generator supplies the movement, allowing the walker to travel forward or reverse when the crank is turned. A 50cm lead attaches the generator to the robot so you can position the power unit separately.
Well suited to educational activities and home hobby projects, this kit promotes hands-on learning about motion and energy conversion. The two bird variants give a small element of customisation for display or supervised interaction.
