Tightrope-Walking Gyrobot Experiment Kit

A robot fit for the circus! With this kit, you can build a robot that walks, step by step, along a tightrope. How? Thanks to the robot’s main component, a gyroscope, it can maintain its balance and perform this fun trick without falling over! Through eight experiments, you can explore the astonishing powers of the motorized gyroscope and understand the physics behind its amazing behaviors. Experiment with getting the robot to walk on different surfaces: a tightrope, on a solid tabletop, on a soft surface, and even on your arm! You can also experiment with the balancing behavior of the motorized gyroscope by itself, testing its ability to balance on its edge, on your finger, on a pole, and dangling from a string.

The kit includes parts to build the robot and experimental setups, including a frame for the tightrope. By constructing the robot and performing the experiments with the motorized gyroscope unit, young engineers can learn about the science of gyroscopic devices and the indispensable role they play in our lives. 

A full-color, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions and scientific explanations.

Contains 8 Experiments.

Bought a game and never got around to playing it? Return it, free up the shelf, and put the money toward something you will actually play.

365 days on everything except trading card games. The clock starts the day your order arrives. The item needs to come back unopened and in its original packaging, and you will need your receipt or order confirmation. Email us at Info@OakenVault.com to start a return and we will send you a return label. The cost of that label comes off your refund.

Trading card games get 20 days. Sealed card products are traded as much as they are played, and a year-long return right would let someone buy sealed, wait out the market, and send back whatever failed to hold its value. Twenty days is plenty if you change your mind, and too short to flip risk free. TCG items must come back unopened too. An opened booster has no resale value, so there is nothing for us to refund.

Buying a gift? The recipient has months to exchange or return it, so you can buy early without guessing.
