Tamiya Centipede Robot Kit

Like them or loathe them, centipedes are fascinating things, and this enthralling Educational Construction kit is an accurate recreation of a Japanese centipede’s slithering movement. At around 40cm in length and with 9 pairs of legs, this is not only a highly interesting build, it also offers many hours of fun. This product was developed from original research performed by Osaka University in Japan.
