ALL TERRAIN Multi Function Tracked Robot

All-Terrain Multi Function Tracked Robot: There is a LOT of parts to assemble in this robot kit, including the hard-wire remote control. However, you end up with a fantastic piece of robotic gear. It is primarily a terrestrial 6-track (i.e. 3 separate tractor-crawlers on each side) unit. The crawlers can be reconfigured to operate as grippers, or even as forklift-type mechanisms. You will need lots of time to put this thing together, but it will be a pleasure as the 50-page instruction manual is superb with dozens of good old-fashioned line drawings, which are still the best for clarity. There are very few electronics (indeed none really,) but a tremendous amount of mechanical assembly. Kids Electric Kit motors are included.

This kit could form the basis of a sophisticated robotic platform with the addition of feedback systems, much of which is in the Jaycar catalogue.

It would make a fabulous gift for a very bright kid.
