Shakes Head while walking Introducing the latest addition to the popular Robocraft Series, the Mechanical Pig with shaking head action. Pig's body and head parts have been molded with pink semi-transparent plastic, giving the pig a futuristic look. Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts.

Smooth running Motor rotation speed is controlled by a simple gearbox. Power from the rotating motor is transferred via crank arms to the front legs which are molded with link plates that make the rear legs move.

Leg movement coupled with head movement Pig is propelled forward by left / right alternative leg movement, which in turn rocks the cute pig face left to right thanks to L-shaped tips molded with the front legs.

Curly tail also reproduced Bottom of front legs feature special grip and back legs fitted with rollers. Body, including the curly tail, has been designed using pink shaded transparent plastic, allowing internal mechanics and parts to be viewed.

Look at that pig go!
