Tamiya 70244 Swivelbot Educational Display Kit  [70244]

About the Swivelbot Model

The Tamiya 70244 Swivelbot is a small-scale kit that showcases basic mechanical concepts through an active, obstacle-reactive design. It appeals to modellers who prefer clear demonstrations of gearing and movement and makes a neat display piece once completed.

Gearing and Movement Details

The model alters its direction when the front wheel encounters objects, achieved through a crown gearbox linked to the drive motor. The turning antenna on the top is a simple indicator that the mechanism is engaged, offering both visual interest and mechanical insight.

Build Instructions and Kit Contents

With a modest number of screws and straightforward assembly steps, the Swivelbot is approachable for a wide range of skill levels. It utilises the same motor found in Tamiya's Mini Motor Slim Gearbox, ensuring consistent drive behaviour. Stickers are supplied for finishing touches.
