MECHANICAL BEETLE (OBSTACLE EVADING TYPE)

Walks while swinging its horn to avoid obstacles
This amazing beetle-robot walks with its four legs while swinging its horn. When it bumps into an obstacle, it turns around automatically and will continue walking. Horn, legs and body on which the gearbox is mounted employ transparent-colored parts, giving the beetle a funky look. Reverse switch is also transparent, giving you a peek at the beetle's internal mechanisms. Assembly is very simple with use of screws and snap-lock parts.

Walking the Beetle
Run on flat, smooth surfaces. Avoid running over slopes or on bumpy roads. Enclose the beetle to have it run around in the same space.
