Thames & Kosmos Hydraulic Boxing Bots STEM Experiment Kit | Build Two Hydraulic-Powered Boxing Robots! | Explore Hydraulic, Water-Powered Systems | Challenge a Friend to a Robot Duel!

Description Build two boxing robots that are powered by hydraulics! Learn about the physics, design, and components of hydraulic (water-powered) mechanisms, including gears, cylinders, and pistons. The upper and lower body move independently to simulate real-life movements, allowing these boxing bots to dodge, jab, and punch with accuracy. Kit includes the parts to build two boxing bots plus a scoreboard so that you can challenge a friend to a hydraulic robot battle. Introduces important physics and engineering lessons through a fun, hands-on building project with a big punch! Featured in Purdue University’s 2023 INSPIRE Engineering Gift Guide In this corner, hailing from the rough-and-tumble robotics lab: It’s Robo-Boxer! And in that corner, the wonder from Down Under: Put your mitts together for Kangaroo-Bot! Ding! Ding! Jab, dodge, uppercut! These boxing robots use hydraulic power to move like real boxers. Packed with the excitement of a boxing match and the fun of constructing incredible mechanical models, this kit allows you to build two boxing robots and challenge a friend to a match. With complex shoulder gestures, two boxing punches (jab and uppercut), three waist postures, and interchangeable heads, these robots are designed to float like butterflies and sting like bees. Use the handheld hydraulic controls to fight like a champ. Knock your opponent robot’s head backward and score a point on the included scoreboard. Learn about how these amazing machines and hydraulic systems work. Leave the rocking and socking to the lightweights — this awesome STEM kit really packs a punch!
