Product Info

  • Introducing the CIC Kits Softtube Robotic Arm STEM Toy, a futuristic project that brings sci-fi mechanics to life for your young engineer. Unlock the mysteries of bio-mechanics with this innovative toy, powered solely by the tension of nylon strings. This robotic arm simulates the natural movements of living organisms, offering an immersive building and learning experience.
  • Omni-Directional Movement: Operate the Softtube Robotic Arm easily with two joysticks, controlling the 4 axes in 8 different directions simultaneously. Test your motor skills by picking up various objects and see how the intelligent mechanical design functions without needing multiple motors for each joint.
  • A simulation of a biomechanics: The nylon strings replicate the contraction and extension of animal muscles, creating lifelike movements. With a 360-degree range of motion, the arm can swing in any direction, bending at different angles for a variety of combinations. The intuitive left and right joysticks control the upper and lower segments, while the buttons trigger the opening, closing, and rotation of the front-end gripper.
  • Innovative Play Modes: The Softtube Robotic Arm features two exciting play modes. In "Claw" mode, it grasps objects like a traditional robotic arm, using its segmented structure to navigate around obstacles and reach behind them. In "Garden Eel" mode, players interact with a garden eel companion, engaging in imaginative activities like feeding, playing games, and dancing, creating rich storytelling scenarios.
  • STEM Engineering Challenge: The Softtube Robotic Arm is a complex yet rewarding project. Through hands-on assembly, children will not only acquire mechanical knowledge but also develop better problem-solving skills. The openwork chassis design lets kids see how the inner mechanical parts work together, inspiring them to think outside the box.
