Thames & Kosmos Gyrobot, Tightrope Walking Gyroscopic Robot Science Kit
Description
Did you know that both airplanes and smart phones use
gyroscopes? Gyroscopes perform tasks ranging from the everyday to the
extraordinary. With this kit, kids explore the amazing powers of the gyroscope
and build seven motorized models, including a robot that can balance on a
tightrope! From the Manufacturer “The Science of Gyroscopes” – Gyroscopes are
used in countless devices. From smartphones, tablets and video game
controllers to airplanes and space telescopes, gyroscopes perform tasks
ranging from the everyday to the extraordinary. With this kit, children can
explore the astonishing powers of the gyroscope by building seven motorized
models, including a robot that can balance on two linear wheels and move along
a tightrope. Kids will learn about the physical science principles that keep
the robot balanced, making it appear to defy gravity. By constructing seven
different models with the motorized gyroscope unit, young engineers can
experiment with and learn about the science of gyroscopic devices and the
indispensable role they play in our lives. The models include the gyroscopic
robot, a balancing personal vehicle, a gyro horizon (or artificial horizon), a
gyrocompass, a balancing game, a tightrope walker and a flight simulator. A
full-color, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step-by-step
assembly instructions and scientific explanations. Ages 8 and up. 102 pieces.
