Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot: Classroom Friendly Build

The Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot is designed as an accessible educational model for learners exploring the basics of robotics and programming. It focuses on practical assembly and visible mechanical behaviour to support teaching and hobby use.

How the Chain Program Works

The robot moves by following a chain created from three link types that instruct forward, left and right turns. Users create a sequence of links to program the robot's route, and the kit runs on a single AA battery supplied by the builder.

Compatibility with Education Series Parts

Two Type 130 motors drive the model and the frame is drilled with 3mm holes so it can accept additional Tamiya Educational Construction Series plates and universal arms. The design provides room for a microcomputer for more complex coding, and it supports conversion to radio control with a separately acquired 2-channel controller and double gearbox.

Use in Learning Environments

Ideal for project-based learning, the Tamiya 70232 Chain-Program Robot demonstrates sequencing, simple mechanical systems and basic circuitry, making it useful for small group activities or school projects.

Yes, the kit breaks down into clear subassemblies so small teams can work on different sections before combining them for final testing and programming.
Common hobby tools such as a small screwdriver, tweezers for small parts and side cutters for sprues are usually sufficient; no specialised equipment is required.
Yes, the physical chain programming is a great analogue to sequencing concepts in coding, and adding a microcomputer allows teachers to link the build to simple software exercises.
