Description

Create your own snail from scratch and watch it slide on any surface. An exciting way to learn about mechanical science!

OPERATION: The gearbox and mechanism you built convert electrical current into kinetic energy. In this case, the current comes from batteries that always have a positive and negative pole. The positive pole has a few electrons, while the negative pole has more. When the positive and negative poles are connected, by turning on the switch, the electrons move quickly, creating an electric current. The circular joint at the top of the snail's front body uses this energy to move like a real snail!

CONTENTS: Individual parts: A: Front connector socket, B: Gear connector socket, Γ: Battery compartment socket, Δ: Rear connector socket, E: Front body base, ΣΤ: Front connector x 2, Ζ: Rear left connector, H: Rear right connector, Θ: Small peg x 8, Ι: Long peg, K: Medium peg, Λ: Motion connector, Μ: Left eye, N: Right eye, Ξ: Rear body base, Ο: Front upper body part, Π: Motor, Ρ: Shell x 2, Σ: Battery compartment, T: Battery cover, Υ: Gear axis, Φ: Small gear, Χ: Moving eyes x 2, Ψ: Soft material for legs x 4, Ω: Small screw x 5. Also required but not included in this package are a small screwdriver and 2 AAA 1.5 V batteries. Instructions in Greek are included.

  • It's not wooden, it's plastic and you need to assemble it completely. All its parts detach from two plastic frames. It has a motor and a battery compartment, batteries are not included, it requires two AAA. It has small screws and needs a small Phillips screwdriver. It doesn't assemble easily with the instructions (a manual in Greek is included), but with the pictures. If it didn't have the pictures, it would take me twice as long because the instruction text is very poorly written. Also, you have to deal with delicate wires that you need to connect without pulling them hard. The magic for a child lies in the construction from scratch to the final result, which is the movement of the robot. I don't think an 8-year-old could manage it, perhaps better at an older age. In our case, my mom assembled it because we are 6 and we love robots. She helped with the easy steps, understood the concept of energy from the batteries and its conversion from electrical to kinetic and the functioning of the gears. When it takes shape with its eyes and shell and mimics the movement of a snail quite well, it validates you. It's a simple choice for interest in robotics but with plastic parts and difficult assembly. It could perhaps be priced around ten euros.
