The Tamiya 70230 Centipede Robot delivers a clear, hands-on introduction to mechanical motion and basic robotics, suitable for hobbyists and teaching environments. The build process illuminates how gears and linkages produce coordinated movement.
This model centres on a gearbox that contains the internal motor, driving the segmented chassis to recreate centipede-like walking. Legs are attached with universal joint fittings to permit flexible stepping, and the steering bar at the head provides a simple way to vary motion patterns.
Intended primarily for education, the Tamiya 70230 also makes an attractive finished piece. Assembly demonstrates gear ratios, motor drive and link mechanisms in a concise package that works well for display and demonstration.
