Thames&Kosmos Gravity Bug Vertical Walking Robot provides the construction of a powerful robot bug that can overcome gravity, easily climb up, down, and crawl around windows! This mobile quadruped machine uses a clever suction cup system to walk on smooth vertical surfaces, such as windows and smooth panels.

Assemble robots to understand their internal mechanisms, including gears and circuits with motors, batteries, and switches. Then conduct an experiment to see which type of surface your Gravity bug is best suited for climbing. Understand the working principle of suction cups and the climbing method of this robot. This hands-on construction kit brings engineering and physics to life, showcasing the power of air pressure in work. The eight panel full-color manual guides you in building a model through step-by-step illustrations.
