Tamiya Wall-Hugging Ladybug Product Summary

This compact Tamiya kit is designed to teach core ideas in robotics and mechanics via a straightforward build and observable behaviour. It fits into the STEM Series as a practical learning tool for beginners interested in movement and basic automation.

Design and Assembly

The unit features a clear red shell over a white chassis that highlights the internal mechanism during construction. Assembly requires no screws, so builders can focus on how parts interact. Included stickers let you customise the finished model.

Performance Characteristics

Powered by a single R6/AA/UM3 battery (not included), the ladybug changes direction when it makes contact with a wall, effectively following the surface as it moves. Expect roughly six hours of operation under normal conditions, depending on battery type.

Specifications

  • Material: Clear red outer parts with white chassis elements
  • Battery: Requires one R6/AA/UM3 cell (battery not supplied)
  • Running Time: Approximately 6 hours
  • Assembly: No screws required
Yes. Its simple assembly and visible mechanics make it a useful demonstration model for small group lessons or workshops.
Keep the gears free of dust and avoid sticky residues from paints. Lightly clean parts with a soft brush if needed.
Replacement decals may be sourced from hobby suppliers or by creating custom stickers from compatible sheets if the originals wear out.
Battery brand, age, and whether you use rechargeable cells will influence running time. Fresh alkaline cells typically reach the approximate six hour figure.
