The Mechanical Tiger is a compact walking model from the Robocraft lineup that appeals to both hobbyists and educators. Its four-legged gait and visible mechanics make it useful for demonstrating simple machine principles while being enjoyable to build.
The body is formed from yellow semi-transparent ABS resin, giving a techy, see-through look that showcases moving components. A whimsical cartoon face and a set of tiger stripe stickers help personalise the finish.
A single rotating motor drives crank plates that move the legs, creating the walking action. Two selectable gear ratios plus four stride configurations yield eight different speed settings, and a reverse switch allows the model to move backwards.
The kit combines snap-fit elements with screws for a tidy build that is accessible to newcomers yet satisfying for experienced modellers. For best operation place the completed model on smooth, level surfaces and avoid uneven terrain or thick rugs.
