Tamiya 89902 Tamiya Mechanical Turtle (Finished Model) is an advanced, ready-to-use mechanical model inspired by the natural movement of a turtle. Designed for all robotics enthusiasts, technology lovers, and collectors of unique mechanical models – both younger and adult. This model serves as a great example of educational robotics, while also being an excellent toy and a didactic tool.

• Category: Ready-made mechanical model (Robocraft Series)
• Scale: The model does not have a classic scale – this is an educational model with a length of approx. 115 mm.
• Country of design origin: Japan (Tamiya)
• Purpose: The model is intended for the hobby and educational market.
• Historical period: Contemporary times, 21st-century technology
• Material: High-quality transparent plastic with transparent-coloured elements (green, blue), ready-made drive mechanism
• Additional elements: Assembled drive with motor and reverse gear, transparent switch, functional four-leg drive, intricately reproduced movement mechanism

The Tamiya Mechanical Turtle is based on movement generated by a motor and an innovative system of gears and crank mechanisms, converting the motor’s rotation into realistic motion of all four legs. The front leg plate is mounted on a ball joint, which delivers a surprisingly smooth and natural crawling effect, similar to the original movement of a turtle. The transparent housing allows you to observe the entire mechanism while in operation, increasing the model’s educational value.

Among the product’s advantages is its simple operation – the model comes factory-assembled and is equipped with a drive that allows movement both forwards and backwards. Recommended for learning mechanics and robotics for children (under adult supervision) and youth, as an interesting demonstration model or an element of a mini-robot collection. Also makes a great gift.

• Assembly difficulty level: 1 (ready model, does not require assembly)
• Target group: Beginner mechanics enthusiasts, educators, technology passionates, children and youth, collectors of unusual models
• Recommendation: An excellent product for learning the principles of gear mechanisms, drives, and mechanics – recommended for anyone interested in technical education and creative play.

Note: The model is intended to move only on flat, smooth surfaces. It is not recommended for use on long-fiber carpets or uneven terrains.

Tamiya Mechanical Turtle is a fantastic combination of fun and education, inspiring to discover the laws of physics and mechanics in practice!
