Tamiya 70213 Fin Kick Craft Set Educational Spring Arm Robot  [70213]

Learn Mechanics with the Tamiya 70213 Fin Kick Craft Set

The Tamiya 70213 Fin Kick Craft Set offers a compact, practical way to explore mechanical motion by assembling and testing the finished model. It fits well into beginner STEM activities while still appealing to hobby modellers who like simple engineering builds.

Construction Notes and Mechanism

The model employs a springing arm driven by two motors to create a kick-like motion that propels the craft. Its dimensions of 184mm by 126mm by 82mm make it a manageable size for tabletop builds, with snap-fit parts supported by a few screws for durability.

Practical Use and Running Behaviour

With motors and the switch fitted in advance, assembly focuses on joining parts and setting balance. The craft can cover approximately one metre in four to five seconds, and the rear bar supports help keep the model upright and allow it to self-right if overturned.
