Tamiya 70198 Wall Hugging Mouse STEM Educational Model  [70198]

Overview of the Tamiya 70198 Wall Hugging Mouse

The Tamiya 70198 Wall Hugging Mouse serves as a compact educational model that highlights basic robotics concepts using a simple build. Its layout makes it easy to observe how sensors and mechanical linkages produce movement.

Behaviour and Sensor Concept

The little mouse is fitted with a sensing setup that lets it detect walls and run alongside them in a zig-zag pattern. The transparent blue hull provides a clear view of the gearing and wiring so users can follow how each part contributes to motion.

Beginner-Friendly Assembly and Versatility

Featuring a screwless construction and pre-wired components, assembly is quick and beginner-friendly. Parts are compatible with other Tamiya Educational Construction products, which allows for creative reconfiguration and experimentation.

Appearance and Operating Time

The kit includes stickers for eyes, ears and whiskers that give the model character for display. It operates from one AA battery (sold separately) and will generally run for about six hours on a single fresh cell.
