Gyrobot is a Gyroscopic Robot. With this robot your kids will learn about the physical science principles that keep the robot balanced, making it appear to defy gravity. Provided 102 building pieces, needed creativity to assembling.
There seven different models and moved by gyroscope motor unit.
The models include :
- a gyroscopic robot
- a balancing personal vehicle
- a gyro horizon (or artificial horizon)
- a gyrocompass, a balancing game
- a tightrope walker and a flight simulator
- a full-color, 24-page, illustrated experiment manual provides step-by-step assembly instructions and scientific explanations.
A gyroscope consists of a metal wheel mounted on an axle. The wheel and axle spin freely secured in a metal frame, allowing it move in any direction. Because of the laws of physics, the gyroscope reacts to external forces differently than a non-spinning wheel: it resists forces in certain directions. This behavior allow it be used for all sorts of applications related to balance, rotation, and orientation.
