Science & Play - SlitherBot

The snake, an animal that has always fascinated people because of the fear it inspires, turns into a robot that moves as if it were real. The snake is 40 cm long! This robot snake inspired by the animal world, introduces children to robotics in a fun and intelligent way. It faithfully replicates the sinuous movement of the snake, arousing the child’s amazement. An exclusive and engaging experience that allows the child to interact with the assembled construction, creating fun for children and adults alike. After attaching the 12 upper segments to the lower segments, simply switch the robot on to see it move and let the adventure start. The robot will start moving around the child and reaching into small spaces and corners, like a real snake. You will not resist playing terrible jokes with friends! The motor has a reducer that makes the connecting rod move once to the right and once to the left. In this way, the animal moves forward smoothly with a sinuous and realistic movement. The robot’s modular structure recreates some perfectly realistic coils, just like those of a real snake. Develops manual skills, logical abilities and imagination.
