Robo Dog Pet - DIY Kit
Short Product Description
Build your own mechanical walking dog! The Robo Dog Pet – DIY Kit teaches kids how crankshafts, linkages, and gears work together to create life-like movement. Once assembled, the dog walks using a rotating crank mechanism—just turn the handle and watch it come alive!
What’s Inside the Box
-
Laser-cut basil-wood sheets (body panels, legs, linkages)
-
Crankshaft components & connecting rods
-
PETG window panel (to view inner mechanisms)
-
Wooden pegs, dowels & spacers
-
Rubber bands (for tail return action)
-
Illustrated step-by-step instruction manual
How It Works
Children assemble the dog’s body frame, then install a crankshaft + connecting-rod system.
When the crank is turned, the rotary motion converts into alternating leg movement—just like real locomotion mechanics.
A rubber-band linkage controls the wagging tail for added fun!
What Kids Learn
