Tamiya 70195 - Wall Hugging Ladybug  [70195]

Introduction to the Tamiya Wall-Hugging Ladybug

The Tamiya Wall-Hugging Ladybug offers an engaging introduction to basic robotics and mechanics through a simple yet innovative design. This kit is part of Tamiya's STEM Series, making it ideal for young enthusiasts interested in learning the fundamentals of motion and engineering.

Design Features and Assembly

This model features a newly designed clear red body paired with a white chassis, creating a visually appealing contrast. The assembly process is straightforward and does not require screws, allowing builders to focus on understanding the mechanics without the complexity of traditional model kits. A sticker sheet is included to personalize your ladybug, adding a touch of creativity to the build.

Functionality and Performance

Once assembled, the ladybug is powered by a single R6/AA/UM3 battery (not included). It is designed to change direction upon contact with a wall, effectively "hugging" the wall as it moves. This function not only demonstrates basic robotic behavior but also provides approximately six hours of running time, offering ample opportunity for observation and play.
