Mechanical Dog - Four Leg Walking Type

Introducing the Mechanical Dog

We have at last entered the age of robotics. Welcoming this new era, Tamiya presents the all-new robocraft series, introducing a line-up of products that feature a variety of form and movement. The first item of the series is a four-legged mechanical dog with various speed controls. The dog walks by transferring motor revolution to reciprocating motion via crank and linkage rod. Main body and legs are made of transparent yellow parts to allow viewing of internal mechanisms. Construction is simple as parts can easily be attached with screws. Wiring has also been made simple.
