Description

Explore the future of transportation with The RoboRails Monorail System activity set! A fast-moving internal gyroscope and monowheel allow this compact robot to balance on a single wheel and glide along a monorail of your design. Its clever design uses ball bearings as the gimbal weights, which are nearly frictionless as it spins. The full-color 32-page manual guides you through a step-by-step assembly of the robot and dozens of track layouts from over 180 durable, plastic parts. Builders can choose any of the 26 track layouts in the manual or use their imagination to invent their own! Use the three special connectors, the seesaw, the splitter, and the cross switch, to add twists, turns, and obstacles to your routes. A series of hands-on experiments demonstrates important physics topics such as rotational motion, acceleration, and angular momentum. 2 AA batteries are required (but not included).
