Introduction to the Tamiya Mechanical Tiger

The Tamiya Mechanical Tiger is an engaging addition to the Robocraft series, designed for hobbyists and STEM enthusiasts. This four-legged walking model combines mechanical innovation with an educational assembly process, offering both a fun project and a unique display piece.

Design and Build Features

Crafted with yellow semi-transparent ABS resin, this model offers a futuristic aesthetic while allowing builders to observe the internal mechanisms at work. The Mechanical Tiger features a humorous cartoon face and includes stickers for adding tiger stripes, enhancing its playful appearance.

Mechanical Functionality

The model is powered by a rotating motor, which transfers energy to the legs via crank plates, enabling the tiger to walk. Builders can experiment with two different gear ratios and four stride options, resulting in eight possible speed variations. A reverse switch further adds to the model's functionality, allowing backward movement.

Assembly and Display

The assembly process is straightforward, utilizing screws and snap-lock parts, making it accessible for both beginners and experienced builders. Once completed, the Mechanical Tiger is best displayed on flat, smooth surfaces, avoiding slopes or uneven terrain.
