Inch by inch: you can make a mind-blowing remote controlled "Meka-Inchworm" robot with this fun, no-soldering-required kit. You've got to love a machine that moves like a bug!
Includes instructions in Japanese, but we've got English instructions right here under the "How To" tab. MAKE is proud to be the exclusive distributor in North America for these brilliant kits, part of Gakken's Mechanical Animals Series.

Features
- See the "How To" tab, above, for PDF English Instructions.
- Requires no soldering -- easy to build in about 2 hours
- Runs on 6 AA batteries (not included)
- Cool biomechanical movement! The legs of the Inchworm consist of 3 parts: fore, hind, and center. When you watch it move, you can see there are 2 patterns: 1) fore and hind legs are touching the ground and the center legs are in the air while the machine is moving, and 2) only the center legs are touching when the fore and hind legs return to their positions, or while making a turn.
- When assembling, enjoy seeing where the kinetic energy is transmitted through the links -- the machine will be that much more impressive.
